I have an external blog with an RSS feed, and I would like to have that feed displayed as my "blog" in my Drupal. Does something allowing this exist?

Taxonomy_Image module in phptemplate 4.6

I have installed taxonomy_image in 4.6 and after debugging a select statement in the code I have it working to where it uploads images and links them to taxonomy terms. Where I am having difficulty is getting the image to print to the page.tpl.php.

First, hard coding the $tid doesn't work. So if I use taxonomy_image_display(5) in the page.tpl.php I get nothing.

So then I read that I need to add code to the phptemplate_page function of the phptemplate_engine but I can't get anything to work.

After many hours, I'm at a loss.

Creating an author info block *please help*

Yes, I've been searching. Yes, I'm aware of the profile.module patch. It's quite different from what I have planned.

I would like to know... how can I get the author's UID when viewing "drupal/blogs/UID" or "drupal/node/NID". I know how to get the UID if I have the NID, but of course that couldn't work when viewing "drupal/blogs/UID" and I'd really like to avoid using "arg(X)".

Any help is really appreciated!

Changing the "content creation" layout

Can someone point in the direction of how to change the layout of the content creation pages. I'd like to do the following, if it is not too difficult:

- Reduce the amount of white space
- Move the things I seldom change to the bottom (authoring info, options, user comments)
- Put a submission button at the TOP of the screen.
- Reduce the size of the description.

Basically, I'd like to make it all fit in the smallest space possible, so I don't have to scroll down.

Cheers,
Brett
