Hi, I want to use a CMS for a new project I am working on (tired of managing all HTML by hand). Drupal is one of the Fantastico-equipped scripts that my ISP offers. I see other sites doing neat things with Drupal but I have no idea how to make it do these things.
The first thing that bothered me was that every bit of content was very blog-like (displaying user and time posted). This site is going to have static pages that do not necessarily need such information. I figured out how to turn off that header via the theme configuration. Out of story and article, what do I want to use for static content (e.g., an "About" page)?
I noticed that the book module has an option to display a printer-friendly display option. How come this is not the case on other types of content?
I need to make a navigation menu block. I notice that the "Navigation" module is enabled by default. But I do not see how to do anything with that block. I can make another block for navigation options and populate it with an HTML list of links to the appropriate pages within the site. But that feels like it violates the CMS model.
