Theme development

Hello,
I try to search for a while the solution but nothing ...
I would like to know how to create a block (via Views module) with a structure like:

Title of the last story (with link)
My teaser of this las story
read more ((it's have been done)
Title of an another story post (older, with link)
Title of an another story post (older, with link)

My idea was to create a block with a combination of teaser list and a list view

Thank you for help...

Hi, I'm trying to implement this technique http://www.usingdrupal.com/node/20 into the drupal 6 menu system.

The problem is that, at least to me, the all new drupal menu system is far too different from the 5th version. I tryed looking on the drupal API but still can't find a way out. Anyone there know what's the right function to customize on template.tpl.php?
Finally, I just want to add another span selector, it shouldn't be all that rocket science...

I have clean_urls turned ON, and am using them to generate pretty urls such as /drupal//hello for my pages. I now want to detect the url in page.tpl.php, and having a huge problem doing so -- arg(0) gives me the base node information, but I want the pretty-style url path I specfieid.

So, if the url is /drupal/hello, how in the php code can I detect that it is called "hello"?? I can get the /drupal bit with base_path..

Does anybody know what I have to do, to make 5.x Themes available for Drupal 6? When I upload them, they are not shown in the Theme list. Looking for a difference, i found this .info file. Is this the missing link?

I'm trying to add a new theme to drupal.org. I have a cvs account from having added a theme earlier, but this time I'm getting "cvs server: cannot find module `my_theme' - ignored". Do I need to request something of the web team?

I've set up two forum containers, and each appears in a different "section" of my site. Each section is themed differently, and everything in it should be themed accordingly, also the forums: forum lists, threads, posts and comments.
