Converting to Drupal

I'm not sure where this question goes or the best way to go about this.

I post a lot of links 1-2/day to Facebook via ShareThis or AddThis or direct Facebook share links, I would like to move these to my Drupal Tumblog. What service can I use one ShareThis/AddThis that I can then have automatically imported into Drupal in the normal stream, not a block on the side. I would like something along the lines of Facebook share that allow me to pick a thumb and write a brief description. A bookmarklet or chrome extension are also a must.

I want to present my own calendar list, and I'm getting pretty far with a new content-type and defining a new view. Now I would like to override the default .css with my own, and I don't seem to be able to do much. I tried putting my changes in a "local.css" but that was not recognized by drupal. Then I modified the LiteJazz theme style.css and was able to modify a few attributes just for testing. But then a brick wall.

I have in my views-view-table--Calendar.tpl.php the following fragment:

Hi,

I've just converted from phpbb to drupal. However, all nodes are shown as unread... is there any way to mark all nodes as read for all users?
What do I have to set/emtpy in phpmyadmin in order to get all nodes and comments to be marked as read?

I manage a website that consists of a bunch of articles, and each of which contains images or other media. I'm currently migrating the site to Drupal. Could someone point out a module that allows me to store those images efficiently, and will work well with CKEditor uploads?

I'm using Rules to try to do this but I can't get it to work: basically I want it so that when you are on the homepage of my site and you login it redirects you to your user account page - I've tried setting URL alias/path alias (btw what's the difference?) as node/home (I changed my default to the latter) but haven't got it to work. It works when there is no condition - i.e. when you login from any page you are successfully redirected to your account - however I only want the redirect to occur when the user is logging in from the homepage...

Any ideas?

Have any of you guys combined Drupal with Hannon Hill Cascade Server?

Hannon Hill for the static content, and Drupal for the interactive stuff like forms and calendar, etc.?
