Module development and code questions

Hello everybody !
I'm new in drupal developlment. A few days ago I installed drupal - http://www.bg-it.net . I have one question - How can I create a content type ot how to edit story link type , to use the title as a link that loads the url in new window , like http://www.digg.com . I have tryed many modules but I can't get that effect. Can I use the content templates module for customizing that king of content type ? I'm using Drupal 5.x .
Thank you in advance

Hey!
Has anybody tips/solution for integration of Drupalit into Thickbox? I'd like to enable voting by walking trough pictures.

What I'm looking for is a module that would allow the following:

1) Below each node (of course those content-types chosen by Admin) there will be a link "Add to my bookmarks"

2) Among user's navigation links there will be "My Bookmarks" link (and maybe a dedicated block as well). In "My Bookmarks" area the user will see a table of those bookmarks sortable according to the date he/she added those nodes by default (but also sortable according to content-types, taxonomies, last updated).

My overall objective is to combine authentication for postfix+SASL, Courier-IMAP, and Drupal. The trouble is, Drupal seems to be storing the passwords as an md5sum:

if ($key == 'pass' && !empty($value)) {
$query .= "$key = '%s', ";
$v[] = md5($value);
}

There are other similar examples in user.module. Now, if instead of using md5 it were using crypt(), I think I'd be in good shape. If I use courier-authlib with:

PGSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD password

I have installed the IE Destroyer module in my Drupal website, Palawan Forum (www.freepalawan.com/), and on the whole it works fine. It displays the splash banner consistently, and that feels good. I am one of those net users who have been fed up with the messy softwares that Microsoft is pushing at exorbitant prices. I am now into open source (shifted to Drupal and Ubuntu 7), and I am very satisfied in this new world.

I've been doing ALOT of reading, perhaps too much reading into how to go about implementing a reliable, secure paid for digital download shop. I have gone from forum post to forum post and find a mass of methods, but no definitve answer. Theres alot of conflicting infomation. I don't feel confident, just a little bemused.
