Converting to Drupal

I am trying to convert my existing web site to Drupal. I realize that adding new content will be easy and fun, but I am having a heck of a time trying to get my existing content moved over in a way that is presentable to the public.

My existing web site is http://www.TheBicyclingGuitarist.net/

The Drupal form is installed in a subfolder called "drupal."

I only have about three dozen pages of content imported, but none are in a form I like yet and the options are confusing to me.

I would like to add an auction section to my site. I am cosidering php pro bid. I was told I would have to write a module to bridge the two...is that the only way or is there any other advice?
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone.

Hi

I am fairly new to Drupal so please forgive my ignorance. I have a client who is looking to use Drupal for developing a whole new section of their website in a big way. Their current CMS of choice is TeamSite and I have been tasked to look at the technical challenges associated with the switch. A few things that I see TeamSite + OpenDeploy doing very well are Versioning, Smooth deployment across Development. Staging, and Production. How are these things handled in the Drupal world?

Hi !
I'm going to migrate data to drupal, only nodes

i will only need to specify the node title, body, time created, and author id

what tables do i have to insert data into ?? only the node and the node_revisions tables ?

And how do i do this ? By writing my own php script with db queries ? I saw they were some useful functions such such as node_insert(), but do i have to create a entire module to be able to use these functions ?
