Post installation

My site's focus is going to be music reviews. I want to be able to post music reviews and then have readers submit their own reviews and also rate it on a scale of 1 to 5 or 1 to 10. I just want to know what's the best approach/node to use for the review pages. Is there a specific module out there that will let me do this? Or should i just use book.module and modify it? I'm also using flexinode, so should i just create a new kind of page that will do what i want? I'm still new at this, so i kinda want the easiest route.

Is there a standard way to upload lots of existing content into drupal in batch? Ideally I'd have a PHP script I can run from the command-line (or via wget or such like) or instructions on how to insert stuff directly into appropriate DB tables. Seems like it would be a common problem when migrating to Drupal but I haven't been able to find anything relevant so far.

OK, here's the deal. I'm no PHP programmer (as I've noted before). I'm trying to figure out how to get users' messages to convert linebreaks to HTML linebreaks. I use paragraph tags for all my nodes, but most users don't use them for comments.

I've gone back and forth on the Web to try to find a way to modify filters.module, but I have yet to see some sort of concrete fix that appears durable. For reference, here's my Web site: http://www.pennywit.com/drupal. Any ideas?

I have tried this with a clean install too, so I think it is a bug, but I wanted to ask if anyone has been using comment moderation in 4.4.1?

I'd like to have some form of my site's logo appear in the address bar of browsers (like Druplicon does).

how do I go about setting this up?

I am using Drupal to power an art project called FOEster. It's an anti-friendster community site, and I am having a problem getting the Artist module to work. Basically, after I've configured it, there is no submit button. I can only preview the 'artist' and am unable to submit the term and nothing is added to the taxonomy vocabulary. I have to say, about three weeks ago I had never heard of drupal. Now I am obsessed. It is really easy to configure once you get used to it. It's a shame I undertand so little about programming in general.
