Post installation

After installing v4.4.0 and doing soms tests with authenticated users I noticed that 'content' is by default published!
So evidenly posts are immediately seen by everyone with 'access content' permissions.
This is certainly not the intended behaviour, is it?
Did I miss some configuration?

I have installed drupal on a redhat 9 system running apache and mysql. Everything seems to work great, except content is not posted on the main page. All I get is a Page Not Found? I don't seem to see any errors in watchdog which seem to be causing this, and I'm kind of at a loss of where to look next.

The page can be seen at http://hacklocalhost.ath.cx

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I have install the latest version of Drupal and am try to set up the event module. I can install the module but when I try to create an event I get a 'page not found error'. Can anybody advise me on how to setup a module properly?

A poll I recently created reverted to being "closed" each time a vote was cast. It was set up to remain open for a week. After a vote was cast, the "closed/open" dropdown displayed "closed" and teh next user coudl not vote until I did admin on it and changed it to being "open."

What am I missing? (I've used polls be 4.3.2 and earlier versions.)

Thanks in advance.

Hello - I've got a general question - not sure if it's theme related or if it's site admin/content related. I often put a picture in the beginning of a node as part of the node content, here's an example of what I'm doing:

<img src="/foo/bar/image.jpg" hspace=4 border=0 align=right>
<h3>Some Title</h3>
Some text about some nifty story, with a niftier image that
should display to the right ...

However,I've found that the Teaser display causes serious formatting issues if the image is bigger than the block of text that gets slurped into the teaser block.

Specifically, the image will float down past the end of the teaser output, and float into the next nodes information. This is particularly unsightly and a serious issue if you have several teasers displayed, and several images all floating past the boundaries of the teaser output.

I'm using 4.4.0 release with XTemplate. Is there some HTML, CSS, etc... magic I can use around the image to insure that the teaser node output/block is expanded to encompass the same size as the image so the unsightly formatting issues go away?

Thanks in advance!

In a previous post I was asking about having multi-author blogs (that is, like in MovableType, it is possible to set up a set of blogs that allow only specified users to post into these blogs. I posted previously (here http://drupal.org/node/view/6909) on this. I have run across the projects module since that post, and I have been attempting to figure out if that will do the trick. Anyone have infinitely more experience than I on this?
