Ok, CCK is installed as it turns out. And I got the homepage back up, thanks so much guys for the help. I had to reset my content name (and alias) to a proper name. Now I'm going to look into installing fckeditor for creating content like what you see in the attachment. More soon.
Thanks a lot to both of you Tim

hello again mate
site configuraion>site information should have url for frontpage you can set it there. /node is the default front page (it just displays everything in date order, hence 'river of content') - http://fto.digitalrhino.biz/node is what i mean
your front page is a bit fubar, and im not sure how to help you with the CCK stuff! dont know how you managed to do all this without CCK (its been so long since i used anything but CCK ! )

have you enabled the option 'access content'?
also, in the content types, it may be disabled or hidden in the display options (guess/unlikely)

- I tried adding a text field and text area to one of our Content types - an "Article". But I am not seeing any new content / text after I add some to one of the articles. What do I have to do to see those text changes in my page? Is there some kind of caching issue here?
Check out permissions in user settings, you have to allow users to see cck fields. There's no module that I can see called Content Construction Kit (CCK). But I did try enabling anonymous and authenticated user access to view all fields in the "content_permissions module" module. As well, all users can view all "views" modules.
Now the page isn't even showing up (see http://fto.digitalrhino.biz/whatwedo), even though all pages are published. This is confusing :|
- I've made some changes to a template php file (and associated CSS). But those changes aren't being reflected in the pages served. Is there a caching issue here? Or does some file(s) need to be re-indexed?
go to performance in the site configuration menu and clear the cache. Also install the theme developer module to ensure your tpls are gtting picked up OK Ok, got this one. Thanks :)
- With Drupal's content editor is there a way to do like here: http://digitalrhino.projectpath.com/projects/2836732/thumbnails/27705922
- make an image to span 2 fields
- have text split into 2 columns
You probably want fckeditor or www.drupal.org/project/wysiwyg I'll check out the fckeditor.
- How do you manage the homepage that Drupal uses? I had a user delete the homepage and now I need to recreate it. But this doesn't seem to be a straightforward process.
/node should be a normal 'river of content' view. I would worry more about users being able to change the homepage atm than recreating it.
I don't quite follow this. How can a user (anonymous or authenticated) control what homepage appears? Or why would I want that to happen? In this case, I just want one homepage to appear all the time, and I can't see where to set that. This is obviously my lack of understanding of how Drupal handles this.
Thanks a lot Tim
