Need help migrating your site to Drupal?

Web site conversion question

I am converting a live site from Joomla to drupal for an organization I do volunteer work with. Currently the site url is http://{siteurl}

What is this kind of website call in English?

Hi Guys,
I saw a really fun website in Chinese web. It call www.bilibili.tv. If you click one of their video, you can see the comment flying during the video is playing. But I want to know what is the name of this kind of website call? Also, is that possible or a good idea to build it with Drupal?
Thanks

convert a hand coded site but keep same appearance?

Hi, was wondering what steps I should take to convert a hand coded site (html, javascript, css, php, mysql) to Drupal while keeping the appearance almost identical. Is this even possible? It is not a complicated site at all:

I should be OK migrating the database, it's more the appearance I'm wondering about.

Import of .flv with .jpg thumbs doesn't join them

After expanding my /tmp directory to a couple hundred gigabytes to it didn't run out of space in the middle of the media import of my (many) .flv videos, I manged to get them all imported. I then imported all of the .jpg thumbnails by the same name.

How can I attach the thumbs to the videos by the same names?

Moving Existing Site to New Server and Updating Core

I have version 7.9 that was installed by another webmaster on another server. I want to move the existing installation and update to version 7.14. The problem is with the existing installation (7.9) when we save anything, it usually does not save. This is the reason I am updating the core and moving to another server as I feel there is either a bug or the current database has issues. This not saving of changes is sitewide and a major issue.

I have found the installation instructions and have found this post about moving an existing installation to a new server: http://drupal.org/node/1542156

But I could not find any documentation that talks about both. Since I am not that familiar with Drupal I though I would ask.

What I have already finished:
1. I backed up the complete site (files and databases) and have stored them on my computer.
2. I did a fresh core install of version 7.14 on the new server and created a new database.
3. I then uploaded the old database (saved from v7.9) into the new database I created. I did get some errors stating that some of the tables could not be created since they were duplicate. I assume the old database imported correctly. (I don't know if this was wise to do at this point)

What do I do now?
1. Do I need to import every module from the old installation directly into the new install?

*Multisite* and content re-use

Hi there,

I'm evaluating Drupal/Acquia for my organization and I've played with it for a while. Can Drupal reuse content from a master multisite like SiteCore, Liferay, or Alfresco?
