Post installation

Installed drupal via debian sarge.

I then downloaded and installed htmlarea module from this web site.

However, although the administrative functions are there, none of my text areas show any sign of having the htmlarea facilities attached to them.

Is there any special steps I have to take, and if not - how can I get more information for someone here to help me.

I am using drupal 4.4.2 and filestore2/fscache CVS module. But I encountered a weird problem. When I tried to upload a file, I cannot pass the preview page, when I filled all fields and press the preview button, I got no error and still the preview page, no "submit" or "upload" button appears and I can not finish the upload process.

Then I checked the database table of filestore2/fscache, nothing happened, no new record added, and after that I checked the file folders, no new file created.

What can I do?

Just curious. How does google know how to index (search) a drupal site? The content is stored in MySql.

Drupal is very interesting, I'm using it for software information on www.SoftwareField.com. I've just started, and I know how to do a lot of things, but am still puzzled on some:

1. How do I create an RSS Feed?
2. How do I make those grey boxes like on Drupal.org? (In the content area, and then you have some content in grey boxes which looks good, I mainly want to use the grey boxes for displaying code)
3. How to edit the colors of the sidebars and top blue color (Edit the file in the theme?)

Hi,

I'm using the marvin_2k theme, and in the top I've set a bunch of links (to various sections on the site) using the $custom_links() array in /includes/conf.php

Since there is a css rule (#current) for a current tab (ie. the page/section you're currently visiting), I'm wondering if anyone has any pointers in regards to how to add this to the theme?

I have a taxonomy term for type story, and while I've been able to use a url (?q=taxonomy/page/or/14) to list all the stories of this type, what I want to do is have a block that lists recent posts of that type in the same manner the "Blogs" block does. I looked at the _block code in blog.module, but I'm not that familiar w/ php or mysql, and I don't see how to select the appropriate node titles based on the taxonomy term. Does anyone have a sample custom block that does this?

running 4.4.1

Thanks.
