Module development and code questions

Hi all,

I submitted a new project (thought the create content->project link(s)), and it created a "website" for me that worked just fine. It now, however, shows a blank page when I go there. The site that it gave me was here. Does anyone see anything when they go there, or is it blank for you guys as well? If it is blank, does anyone know why? Does anyone know how I can get it back, or should I just create a new one? I'm a bit confused to say the least.

Hey, im currently using Menus.module for the menu to my site, however i really dont like how it has to refresh the site each time, im thinking of trying to make it a javascript to make a more dynamic menu, is there a module out for this already, and if not how hard would it be to create one?

Weblink should have a default option to open links in a new window. Users now have to change this option manually. I think admins should have control over the default value.

Also I need to know if someone could code this module to not only open new windows, but open them with a frame in the top. In this frame I wish to add my site info as the referrer. This way anyone that hotlinks to content on my site would have to show where it originated from. I know this can be altered, but the general public wouldn't bother showing the real url.

I want to use popup windows in some of the module development I'm beginning to work on, but I can't figure out how to take advantage of the Drupal system itself in a popup window...

For example, I have an image gallery page that opens a popup window when a user clicks a picture, but the content of the window is generated by a separate, standalone PHP file (popup.php) not by the Drupal system (index.php). If I want to add features to the popup, like a rating system, a title from the database, etc, it would be a lot easier to have the popup page integrated with Drupal.

There are times when I want a module to display nodes in alphabetical order by ascending title rather than by created date descending. So I hacked my taxonomy.module to let me send sort field and sort order paramaters to my taxonomy_select_nodes function calls. I've blogged it on urlgreyhot.

So I want to know if this is a bad thing? If not, can CVS HEAD be modified to include this change?
