Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

Customizing Search Returns

I've been poring over the search module for a few hours now and cannot figure out how to do these two things in the page that returns matching nodes:

1. Change

"Matching nodes ranked in order of relevance"

to

"Matching Pages"

2. Get rid of the line that says:

Restrict search to: node user

...because I only want users to be able to search "nodes"

The text can't be found in the search module. Is it in another file or data table somewhere?

posting anonymous comments

I've drupal set up and I'm using it only as a blog. I'd like my drupal installation to allow posting of comments without people having to create an account on my site. I'd also like to set up a more cohesive archiving system that will list posts by category, day, and month.

basically, I'd like it to resemble my old blog as closely as possible: http://www.xtrinity.com/yosoy/

is this possible?

extra space between node's content div and first letter of content

After installing the wiki filter module, the first paragraph of every node got enclosed in a pre tag. FYI, according to wiki filtering, an extra space before a line results in monospace formatting (pre tag). Although I did not add a space before the first paragraph in any of the node edit forms, when I looked into the source of the page, I found that there was indeed an extra space between the contents div tag and the first letter of the node contents. I suspect that wiki formats first paragraphs as monospace because of this extra space.

Storing RSS stuff in mysql?

I've set up several sites that pull RSS feeds to populate their content, but as soon as the RSS feed is updated, the previous content is lost.

Is there any way to set up the RSS content import to be archived?

thanks,

taxonomy_context menu item order (and alternatives?)

I've just discovered drupal and I'm thrilled. Finally a simple, intuitive CMS I can use to get projects developed _fast_. I'm begining to get a sense of how powerful and useful taxonomies are, and I'm curious what the best way to go about implementing a certain type of navigation is.

The site(very alpha, structure only) I'm currently working on is based on a pretty simple navigation model: first tier links along the top bring up different submenus to the left of the content block. The taxonomy_context module seemed perfect for this. I've made a vocabulary for navigation that mirrors my nav structure (first-level terms are the same as the first-tier navigation items), and for those navigation items that are more than 2 levels deep, I've constructed child terms to those (see Publications->books). Then pages can be assigned to whatever section they need to be displayed in and the nav is constucted automatically.

The only problem is the restrictions on how the taxonomy_context module orders the items in the menu block: child terms are always put ahead of nodes with the given category and nodes are always oredered by creation date, which makes sense in most cases but I'd like more control...some sort of weight implementation or something along those lines. I took a look at the module code and it doesn't seem like it would be too hard to add a few more options to how the items are ordered, but before I started in on that I wanted to check with community and see if anyone had any insights into how to best accomplish my goal within drupal's existing featureset.

Menu of Personal Photo Galleries

I'm using Drupal to power a fairly popular website about drag racing, http://www.norwalkraceway.com One of the user's favorite features is the personal photo gallery aspect of image.module. Sice I enabled it, many users have created their own personal photo galleries. However for other people to view these galleries, the task is quite dificult. They have to look at "Recent Posts" to see the personal images other people have added.
