Post installation

I've just migrated to Drupal from MT. I typed my first entry (using HTML tags as needed) and found that I have an extra P tag at the beginning and end of my post. Where do I turn off this auto-formatting? I'm using the Marvin theme, if that could be part of the problem. Thanks!

Hi
What is the easiest way to display the current taxonomy term at the top of the box content - i.e. where the breadcrumb usually displays. I simply need the term displayed - I will be using this in combination with the 'Menus' module so that when a user clicks on a term under a vocab (in a menu block) it will list all the latest nodes under that term - however I would like the actual term to be written to the top of the page where the breadcrumb usually is.

What PHP code would I need to do this, and in what script should I put it?

Thanks!

Is it a way to set custom blocks selected by default? I mean, blocks that users can deselect in their account settings.

Now it works (only?) the other way round: custom blocks are not selected by default and users willing to activate them can select them in their account settings.

The problem is that many users won't check their account settings nor will play with available blocks, so many features aren't known by non-experienced or non-curious users.

Any idea? Thanks.

Well, actually, they are, and I want them to stop. Where can I turn this setting off at? As admin, I have the option when I post it, but a user doesn't, and I want it set 'off' as the default (the promote to home page option)

Where can I find this setting at?

i have changed my theme to ax, but only at the page that will let me change the theme, i get;

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class xtemplate in E:\Apache\Apache\htdocs\themes\ax\xtpl\xtemplate.inc on line 3

What is the way of changing the theme from database, because it seems impossible to edit by interface.
Lashae-
