Post installation

I just got my drupal up and running. The issue I'm having is that it feels like mywebsite looks like a blog site and not a website. How do I configure that look and feel of drupal so my website will look more like a website than a blog site. Of course I want both but at least on many of the front page such as the index.php should look more like website than a portal for blogging.

How do I get breadcrumbs with a manually built menu? Isn't this supposed to happen automatically?

For an About Us section, I built a custom menu with about 10 items attached to static pages, but I can't see a breadcrumb trail on any page. Any idea what could be wrong?

I am using 4.6.3

How can I insert to my page results of a search (using trip_search.module or search.module)?

Hello, I'm trying to set up my drupal installation almost in 2 parts. I want part of it to be visible to the general public and the other half which contains my blog to be only avalible to logged in users who are under a certain group.

Is there a way of doing this? Thanks.

What would be the most elegant way to show the comments in a popup window (containing only the comments + add comment form, not other nodes) ?

Hello all,

I have installed 4.6.3 just now and was hoping to migrate the recent backup of my existing website to the new install.

I used phpMyAdmin to create the tables including populating them with the data in the backup.

Everything went fine with one reporting an error (an unused table from an unused module) but when I connected (after modifying the settings.php file) I get the below errors (plus heaps more)

Originally I thought I was not connecting to the databse so messed around with that for a while with no improvement.
