Deprecated - Drupal core

Hello:
I'm a Drupal newbie, and a bit stuck and confused. I have an ASP.net (web) application. I'd like to integrate Drupal's community functionlity into this.

The example would do something like put up a page where a user can input content (blog, video, etc.), that gets posted to the Drupal database.

I'd greatly appreciate any and all information anyone could provide.

I have a php file that I wrote that I want the ability to load both inside and outside of Drupal. I have created a page node that only has this for its content:

Jacques Distler has a post about weaknesses in Rails' built-in HTML sanitizer. Is there a test suite that's been run against Drupal's filter_xss to make sure it's not vulnerable to any of these?
