Post installation

I want to have page on my site with a list of lectures. each list item should be a link to the specific lecture. When a story in that category is added, the list should be update too.

for example:

Category: lectures
items:
- Su 10-12-2003 morning
- Su 10-12-2003 afternoon
- Su 17-12-2003 morning
- Su 17-12-2003 afternoon

And the lecture should be at: mysite/lectures/10-12-2003mo

Is it possible that there is somebody (who writes the lecture) adds a lecture and that the list get updated to? And how do i make such a list?

well i finally got drupal running how i want it too (openhalo.net but there isnt anything on it right now and i need to get a logo) only im having one last problem with the filestore.module

when i attempt to upload a file thats 1MB i get this error:

user error: Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet'

im assuming this is mysql setup on the providers box? and is there anyway around this?

How do I apply a style to an entire node?

IOW, I want to be able to wrap the entire node in a styled div. For now, this doesn't need to happen on a regular node page, just when the node is shown in a list, like the home page.

i was wondering how i can get "multipul" topics how acko.net does, so you can go to yoursite.com/blog and yoursite.com/art etc and they show different news. im assuming you have to use a taxonomy to do this but i cant figure it out :(

i installed drupal and am loving it (after you figure out how the hell everything works)

after you look for a second you realize everything is a node and is a very very nice design.

however beyond that, i was wondering how i could get the url to look like those of drupal.org, mine all show site.net/?q=/wherever/to/go

oh, and is there anyway i could get the theme drupal.org is using on 4.3.0 ?

thanks for any help

I'm sure this is on the site or in the admin interface somewhere but I can't find it!

How can I reduce the number of entries (stories etc) on the front page? They scroll off at some point in time or quantity, but I can't find the switch to reduce the default...

thanks in advance!
