Post installation

Hi there my blog is all up and running, after i apply a few themes and when i click on the configure button i get this message on top on the page always:

warning: mkdir(files): Permission denied in /home/kayz/public_html/blog/includes/file.inc on line 86.

and this is on line 86 for file.inc:

if (($mode & FILE_CREATE_DIRECTORY) && @mkdir($directory, 0760)) {

If somebody could show me what i need to do thanks! Also im running the latest Drupal 4.6.4

Thanks!

I've seen a jump menu for all taxonomy terms somewhere on here, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to create a jump, or dropdown menu listing all terms in a specific vocabulary. I don't mean a rollover type dropdown, but the kind where you would click to see all the terms, then hit "submit" or "go" to go to that term. Thank you.

I have a few questions, one of which I addressed in the topic.

I am starting a tech news website, and I would like to have icons of the taxomony the news article is published under to appear next to the article... is there any easy way to do this?

Also, I would like for each user to have their own icon ( and for it to appear near their name when making a post), how can this be set up?

I used to use Civicspace/Drupal before the events.module became flexinode based. Since then, it has always taken me to a calendar-style view of events. How am I able to configure event.module to display a regular text-node style listing (a chronological order of upcoming events) instead of the new calendar view? Is there a way to have both and allow the user to switch between the text-style listing and calendar style listing?

I'd like to:

add a line between the poll question and options and
add another line below the "Vote" button that says "You must be registered and logged in to vote, click here to register". What can be done?

Hello,

I am configuring Drupal for use internally at my company. We need to be able to post files securely, so that only authenticated users can access them. I have installed the filemanager module and the attachment module. I have set administer->settings: download method=private, and have given appropriate private (drupal/private/project_1) and public (drupal/file/project_1) file directories inside my Drupal directory.
