Theme development

hi all,
im using the logs module to gain a rough estimate of how much my site is read etc. its all going grand, but when i go into top pages, or say recent hits, it seems to log a hit to my rss feed for every page i goto.
for example, my recent hits would look something like this:

• Rss feed
• home
• Rss feed
• about
• Rss feed
• etc...

does anyone know why this is?
thanks

This is my first drupal site, so I'm probably missing something simple. Is there a way to display the "navigation" menu (I have it in my sidebar) without having the wide left margin.

I managed to add my "secondary links" to my sidebar, and they are appearing as desired. But I can't figure out how to align the "navigation" links similarly.

You can see what I mean here (please don't mind the mess, this site has a long way to go):

I am using jquery and thickbox to nicely show a calendar event's details (a calender event node) on click of its title. How can I link to view the node (ex. http://localhost/node/26) so that Drupal returns only the themed node content and none of page.tpl.php?

An example of what I'm hoping to achieve would be equiv to page.tpl.php=print $context;. Can it be done?

Hello,

While not entirely sure that this is the place to post my question, I found no better one, so please don't judge me harshly.

I want to reverse the order of menu items in the left sidebar. As you can see my links on top are in different order but links for sidebar are in reverse order.

For some unknown (at the moment) reason, whenever i try to add a node of type Page ( i think thats symantically correct) i can't view it. When i link up one of my Primary menu options to point to that new node, it just displays a blank page. I noticed that when i switched themes to a drupal default, like BlueMarine, i could see these new nodes perfectly fine. Im customizing the Zen theme which is a PHPTemplate system. Most of my modifications have been in the page.tlp.php file.
