Drupal 4.7.x

I'm trying to make a section like digg or delicious. The requirement is that a link will be submitted may be homepage or a long URL which will point to a page but is should have some intro of that page like the ones displayed in search engines. I know leech module that can copy all rss to our own database but the links provided may not give rss. How do I do it? I heard of web crawlers but don't know how to use them. Is there any module that does this, else

how do I do it

?

I want to create a skatepark directory on my site. This directory would allow users or admins to add skateparks and photos. It would be cool if it was form driven. Here are a couple examples of what I am looking to create.

My drupal site has been progressively getting slower over the months after I had set it up.

It has a hefty archive of 50 transcripts of 10,000 words each, plus 50 x 1000 word summaries, but the site was pretty quick still with all that in it.

I've turned off unused modules and the active module list is now roughly 40 separate modules, is this too much?

Hi,
I've got taxonomy_access module installed and set all users including anonymous users to be able to view and list the categories, including uncategorized nodes.

This worked fine until recently and now anonymous users and registered users can't access the category lists.
My sitemap is crippled without this working.

They can access the content directly fine, but when clicking on the category term to list all articles in that category, they get a permission denied error. Only when logged in as admin can I access the terms lists.

I've just upgraded from Drupal 4.6.2 to 4.7.3, previously my latest blogs block has just 3 node links but now as usual it has 10 node links. How do I control the no. of links in this pre build block? I don't want to change the blogs.module file. Is there a better way of doing it?
