Post installation

I'd like to place a block in the middle of the menu, is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

What format is the created date in the node table stored as? I need to pull it for some non-drupal pages and don't recognize the format so I'm unsure what PHP function to use to format it as human readable.

thx

Abstract:
I am still looking for the best way to migrate my photo site. The most important thing for me is to retain all indexed path and html settings. Path lets me do this very nicely but it won't work with acidfree.

Main:
There are basically 3 options to display photo albums with Drupal namely:
1)Gallery
2)Acidfree
3)Image + Photo Album Module

1) Is far too much for my application, total overkill and does not really integrate that well with the general look and feel of what I am trying to achive. Also I need each image to be displayed in a node so I can assign path settings (see below)
2) Almost perfect solution if only I could get the damn paths to work. When I upload an image, I can give it a path setting (lets say gallery1/san_francisco/picture1.html which would reflect one of the about 12,000 pages indexed by google on my site). Unfortunately, Acidfree insists to jumping back to: node/8&pid=6&from=0,1 (I can call gallery1/san_francisco/picture1.html or node/8 and it works, but each time Acidfree adds the other stuff and makes this url: node/8&pid=6&from=0,1). I hope someone knows how to fix it since I really like Acidfree, otherwise it is utterly useless for me :-(((
3) This gives me virtually no option to alter the look and feel (besides messing with the css) and worst of all I can not simply rearrange photos (except by weighing them around, which will be cumbersome for large albums).

I've got a blogger.com feed that goes to my drupal site through aggregator2. But in the display, the pictures aren't kept within each individual posting but if they're bigger than the amount of text in a particular post, the pic overlaps the next post. Here's a screenshot http://www.sweetike.com/drupal-4.6.3/themes/pushbutton/New%20Picture.png

I'm trying to get the default input format to change. On another site, I installed TinyMCE, created a Rich Text Editing input format and then when to

Administer -> Input Formats

and set Rich Text Editing as the default format and it works fine. On the site I'm currently working on, no matter what I do in the Input Formats admin panel, it defaults to Filtered HTML, which doesn't necessarily work well with TinyMCE of course.

Subject pretty much says it. I want to create a role that allows a select group of users to edit any and all nodes (or nodes of say, type "page"). In other words, an admin group of a sort that can all edit pages nodes on the site.

BTW, the site in question will likely only have anonymous users and "admins".
