Theme development

I just started using Drupal for a podcast/etc webpage for an origination. I assume just using Drupal 5.1 would be better or at least fine rather then 4.7 even thou there might be more modules to help. But it seems that most of the documentation on the webpage talkins about 4.7 (aka for theme making). will most it still apply to 5.1?

I am trying to position a block at the top of the content node. When I configure the block, I indicate the highest position level of -10, but Drupal positions other content first. Is there a solution for this?

Thank you,

When I implement the following in my theme:

Does anyone know why the image appears in IE7 & Firefox 2, but not IE6?

Hello All,

Very simple question. Probably staring the answer right in the face!!!

I have created a lovely theme for my site and I want to create 3 subthemes in it with a few css over-rides. This is so that I can have the same layout available, but in 3 different colours.

Can anyone let me know how to create a subtheme - I've searched high and low!

I want to make a front page that looks very much like the screenshot below. More exactly I want to have blocks of teasers like the ones that says "Red Cross donations break 50%", "Recent blog posts" and "Insights". However I want these teaser texts to be static with links pointing to various sections of the site. Which method is best suited to do that? I've read about CCK and making a special content type just for the front page. Is this really the best solution available?

On the homepage of my Drupal theme I have a link: "Read more" under a cropped section of my home content. The link takes you to node1 where all the content is visible.

How can I remove this link and show all the home content on node zero?

Thanks!
