Module development and code questions

Hi all,
I have been using the nodewords meta tag generator for sometime now, and it works pretty well except that the frontpage does not seem to get a description. Checking out the readme (that comes with the module), it says I need a mission statement and a slogan. So I have added both both nothing is produced.

For now I have the theme page file to get a descripton ... but would really like to get the automated functionality working. I have checked that I am not just being dum, and have it enabled.

Am I missing something or is there an issue with the module ?

I'm confused. The documentation of API funtion db_next_id() (http://drupaldocs.org/api/head/function/db_next_id) states:

For compatibility reasons, Drupal does not use auto-numbered fields in its database tables. Instead, this function is used to return a new unique ID of the type requested. If necessary, a new sequence with the given name will be created.

This is probably a really basic question. I have Drupal 4.6.6 (tarball) and Gallery 2.1-RC-2a (cvs). Gallery seems to be running fine standalone. URL rewriting is fine in Drupal. My question is where to put the files from the Gallery 4.6.0.tar.gz tarball in order to embed Gallery 2. There are two module files (gallery.module and G2_filter.module which are in different directories in the expanded archive. G2_filter.module is in the /contrib/gw_filter folder and the gallery.module is in the top directory of the archive.

THe BLocks module is not working correctly. It does not save the settings when i go in and change them. IT keeps going back to what was orginally set.... also, it will not put anything in the content area. I have installed the insert block module, but nothing goes in the middle.

Can anyone help here? or point me in the right direction for help?

THanks,
Anna

I'm having problems with Blobk visibility being way too limiting. For one I can't limit visibility by user role or taxonomy (if there is a module out there that let's me do that-do tell). I had to create a new page type just so I could get the visibility settings I wanted.

I have several blocks that I've had to create twice just so I could get them on the pages I wanted. I was thinking ab making a Block flexinode type to help me a little bit.
