Converting to Drupal

FYI I've uploaded DenRaf's WP2Drupal module for Drupal 6 (a continuation of an older module):

• http://drupal.org/project/wp2drupal

I've got it mostly stable, at least to the point that it runs (at least it did for me). I plan on adding some additional features to make it a more complete converter, so please take a look. All suggestions, and especially bug reports, are very welcome.

Hi

Firstly I'm sorry if my english is wrong. I'll try You to understand me.

I'm trying to migrate Joomla site to Drupal. I've tried Project/Joomla module but found it not good. Anyway I tried to migrate db with MySQL. After all I've found that Drupal isn't now displaying information about created date and author. I doesn't even do so when I post new content page f.e. http://supermind.pl/?q=taxonomy/term/6

I seek some advice that would help.

I'm new to Drupal, and am looking for advice on how best to structure
a web site I'm exploring moving thereto. My reasons for making the
change include a belief that putting this site into a CMS with a large
ecosystem around it will make it easier to maintain and enhance it in
the future. I obviously have a lot of learning to do before tackling
this job, but would like to get some good ideas of what sub-bits of
Drupal technology I should be trying to learn.

The site (http://ringing.org) is currently written using an ad hoc collection
of JSP files and custom tags, built around a MySQL database, with a
little static HTML and a few Perl and Python CGI scripts thrown in.
The structure of the site is defined by a single, large XML file that
is read and parsed at web server start up, or whenever the file is
changed, and that defines the several hundred pages that make up the
site, and their topology.

The heart of the site is a collection of about 8,000 change ringing
compositions, which are essentially mathematical formulae, each
presented in a tabular format. Characteristic examples can be seen at
http://ringing.org/main/pages/peals/major/spliced-surprise/9-22m.

They are divided up into pages of related compositions. The
distribution in pages varies according to the population of
compositions. For example, all those with the attribute know as stage

I am finishing up the port of an old site (custom CMS) to Drupal 6.10, and one of the last things I need to do is rebuild the URL structure; I need to turn an address like one of the following:

Hello

I'm working on a (static) website. In the future I would like to convert it to drupal.
While thinking of the conversion, I came across this problem:

On the site an event can be posted. To boost the event, the frontpage of the site changes in a full screen image of the event (x days before the event). When clicking on the image, the user gets redirected to the event and its description. When clicking home afterwards, the user comes to the real frontpage of the site.
