Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

Custom 'home' pages for categories

(Drupal 4.6.4)

I'm pretty sure there's a way to do what I want to do, but I've been looking all over the site for information on how to do this, and finding *bits* of what I'm looking for, but I'm not managing to figure out how to put it all together. So sorry if this seems stupid.

Here's what I want to do:

Our community, which I'm currently migrating to Drupal, is organized on the metaphor of a town, with different neighbourhoods for different areas of interest, such as the Artists' Quarter, the Admin area, the Commercial District, etc. Within each area, there are conferences for more specific interests; the Artists' Quarter has a couple for writers, one for visual artists, one for photographers, etc.

So, I've created a hierarchical vocabulary that replicates these parts of the Town on our new Drupal site. Part of it looks like this:

Arts
--- Alternative Writer
--- Artists' Loft
--- Darkroom
--- Textile Studio
--- Writers' Circle
Downtown
--- Library
--- Repair Shack
--- The Square

You get the idea.

I've also used the taxonomy_menu module to create a menu in a block which lists the parts of Town so people can go directly to their favourite hang outs. Right now, by default, however, the page you will get to if you click the link is simply a list of the most recent posts added to that category.

That's fine, but what I'd like to have is a page that combines both some static content (introduction for newbies, basic information, map, and images) along with the dynamic content below it. I can find how to create such a page using php snippits, but what I can't find is how to change the taxonomy menu to link to the new page rather than the one that's being created automatically. Does anyone know?

restricting permissions to a block

Hi all.

Drupal is a new thing to me. I have phpBB and Xoops experience.

My question: can I restrict users (based on usergroup permissions, hopefully) from viewing a block?

I'd like to protect some content (outside of the Drupal system) by putting the links in a restricted block. If it is possible, I am obviously missing something. Any clues?

Must Front Page Order Always Be Chronological?

I'd like to be able to put content on the front page in non-chronological order. For example, if I want to have one or more small nodes permanently in the front page content area, and then teasers for articles, but with the ability to select which teasers appear, rather than being stuck always with the latest one. Is there any way to do this?

listing categories in pages, stories

Wondering what I am missing. I want the categories I assign to stories and pages to show up when the user clicks the stories or pages. Not in a navigation block, but horizontally under the story/page title somewhere. I have the taxonomy and taxonomy_menu modules installed, and I have categories assigned to stories and pages, but the categories do not appear. What am I missing?

Thanks!

Eric
