Post installation

Can Polls have markup, such as links, as options? I would think that since polls are just another form of node the answer would be yes, but I have not been able to get it to work. The links just show up as normal text. Is that a limitation of the poll module? I searched for a similar topic but did not find anything...

I've read here and there that

is it possible to customize the "Submitted by" line for different types of nodes?

for instance, I would like forum topics to say "Posted by..." since users can post them without approval; and book pages to say "Submitted by..." since they go into the queue.

I've been hacking my way through the Xtemplate theme, so far to no avail.

Got this in my logs yesterday and had never seen it before. The part that concerns me is the attempt to crite to a file that has sql in the name. Anyone else seen this? Is it a normal error caused by normal program operation, or is someone testing sneaky URLs on my server?

That being said, I really need the ability to:

I want to use pjirc on my site. It works when I directly link to it (e.g. http://mysite.com/misc/irc/applet.html) but it doesn't work when I include it in Drupal with a static page and the phpcommand include('/misc/irc/applet.html'). The applet loads, but, apparently, the applet class is not found.

Can anybody tell me why including a static page in this way doesn't work?
