Theme development

I am currently trying to convert a css/xhtml theme to Drupal. Most of work is done but I have problem with getting the textarea field for comments to show within content area that I have defined.

Hey

I want the backend of my site to look like drupal 5 default, and only the frontend to look like my theme (cause my theme breaks the backend) how can I do this?

thanks!

Is there a simple way to embed a block into content?

I've found ways using regions and some other ways but the blocks created do not div tags are not exact to those in the side bars.

Is there anyway you could use something as simple as: block=(block ID); I don't know PHP but to custom embed a ad banner is similar.

My site is
www.rpgtutorials.com
I want to make it contain
Java/Flash/content linking to all sorts of rpgs for different gaming systems
and in each game there would be guides cheats faqs
and at the code section ppl can add guides and cheats till approval
I don't want my site to have the left/right bar looking like a "blog" with "Archive" "Sub trees" etc

So how do i get started?

I used to use joomla and phpnuke, drupal...i like it but i got no clue how to use

I bought a php nuke template from another website and I want to upload through drupal. how can i do it?

Hi, I would like to theme a taxonomy/voc or taxonomy/term page.

I could do that with views but the breadcrumbs will not work correctly. Is there another option to have the same result?

Ex:

I have a tax/voc page and I want a list of all the nodes related to tax/voc/1 and all the tax/terms of this category.

Catalogue (tax/voc/1)

Albums (tax/term/1)
-Rock (tax/term/2)
-Pop (tax/term/3)

Artisits (tax/term/4)
- Rock Artists (tax/term/5)
