Converting to Drupal

I'm trying to convert a site to Drupal, using the bare bones Bartik Theme (Drupal 7)
a few questions:

I put in background-image:url ('name of pic.png'); (in the Footer section or Block), but it doesn't take
it said to put the image in the themes/Bartik directory, which I did. ????????

Also, is there any way to get a single image to enlarge on mouseover?

I recently switched a site from a Movable Type installation to using Drupal, and am getting an Apache error on the site's /blog directory. The directory still exists on the server as it hosts a bunch of images, but I still want the blog to use the same URL.

The Drupal page displays OK at the /blog path, but I see this error in Apache:

Dear Drupal Community,

I need some help as getting into using Drupal. I have created a new content type called portfolio. I made a content field called Portfolio Gallery. I choose unlimited image entries.

I created a view for the portfolio and the override fields template files. In the View I clicked on the fields for the image gallery and deselected Multiple field settings, Display all values in the same row. As I am not sure if it should be enabled or not as well as these settings Unordered list, Ordered list, Simple separator.

My website is currently built with MS Frontpage. It's especially large, consisting of about 11GB of scanned photographs of an old San Francisco landmark called the Cliff House...
