If I upload a file with a plain html front page in Drupal, can I then edit it in Drupal, or do I have to edit offline and re-upload? I suspect that' s a dumb question but thought I'd just check.
Not sure why you'd do such a thing,but yes you'd have to edit it manually.

If I upload a file with a plain html front page in Drupal, can I then edit it in Drupal, or do I have to edit offline and re-upload? I suspect that' s a dumb question but thought I'd just check.
The client sent me a mock-up home page, after seeing the site in progress. (Mine looks much nicer, but whatever.) I want to put theirs as the front page with an "enter site" link to the welcome page in Drupal.
Alternatively, could I make a drupal node that has no menus, blocks, or theme? It just needs to have 2 logos and 2 lines of text.

You could use the frontpage module http://drupal.org/project/front - it allows you to have a frontpage that isn't themed, if I remember correctly.

You could stick your "front page" in a block. Then make that block only appear on the front page by restricting it to "<front>", and also set its content type to executable PHP.
Then, at the bottom of the block, put:
<?php exit(); ?>
I think that would prevent Drupal from slurping the evaluated content of the block off standard output, so it would go straight to the browser. There might be unwanted side effects of this, though: you might have difficulty logging in to remove the hack, for example. In which case you could perhaps put it in block.tpl.php and check for the block ID. You certainly wouldn't want to do this on a long-term basis as it's a terrible hack.
Thoughts, anyone?
