Post installation

I have trackback installed. I have trackback on every node submitted in my site, and have sent some trackbacks too. My trackback's received block is empty. other blogs I pinged via trackback did not acknowledge they were received.

I smell a rat. Something is awry with either sending or receiving, or both. How do I test this, what can I do? Also, some items I post as blog and some as story. Does that matter for trackback? It has trackback URL's listed on both types of nodes.....

Help! Who knows how this works and how to test?

There is a great node (actually nodes: http://drupal.org/node/31331 and http://drupal.org/node/35686 ) on how to create a module based on the story module, and it got me thinking...

Got some problems with the PHP session that mucks up the display of certain admin nodes. Initiallly, I thought it was the installation and setup. But just found that the PHP session got corrupted somehow and it affects that admin node. Looking thru Dupal's site regarding the PHP settings in the settings.php.

Have update once I understand and deploy the patch.

Sort out the unsightly PHP session matter by adding these parameters in the .htaccess

Can anyone give me the the mysql statement (ie the SELECT statement) to return the number of unauthorised or blocked users?

I've disabled the LOGIN block and logged out. How can I log again in drupal ? is there a full address that a login box is shown, so I would be able to log in ?

I am very excited about starting up a new site with this CMS. After a short dabble in php-nuke (what was I thinking?!), and currently running a site with Dragonfly (like it a lot), I thought I would try out Drupal since it sounds like the hottest CMS out right now...
