I assume those are supposed to be generated by some module... but it doesn't work here. When and are does id defined (in order to call them from the css)??

You'll need to add some instructions on editing the Blocks on your site to put the Headline block into the region Headline, the Features block into the region Features, etc. Other than this little gotcha, this was an awesome tutorial. Thanks. There’s just one step missing.

I am learning though regardless and feel like I am getting there but I feel there could be possible gaps in my knowledge which this tutorial presumes we knows as newbs already. For the Extending Content Types with CCK section I have had to go into content type, story, display fields, image, and have had to set the full node to 'Medium image linked to node' in order to get a medium sized image to display in the content page after the features teaser has been clicked on to avoid getting the full image sized. I don't see that mentioned in here. I also have a problem where to upload an image I have to after locating it in the browse field, I have to then click save at the bottom of the page then quickly click on upload next to the image browse button. I have found that clearing the cache in the performance area of the site has been the greatest help in solving a few problems whilst following this tutorial. I hope that helps anyone newbs who chooses to follow this. What are you stuck on Northern woman? I am no PHP coder either.

This last page is the reason people like me get an urge to return to hand coding and/or Dreamweaver. Using Drupal means we need to learn PHP to develop web sites, although at the Drupal site there is much chatter about how one does not need to learn PHP. It just t'aint so! Without a site with content like this, those of us who are not coders would be lost, unfortuately. Is there a way to do this last page with a module?

That sorted it out for me. If your images don’t show up, check end edit permissions for your different user types under: Administer > User management. That sorted it out for me.

I then tried to use the aboutpeople free theme at http://drupal.org/project/aboutpeople when the issue arose. I guess I need to copy the correct part from the downloaded css file? Sorry I can't send you a link, i'm still working on local host at the moment as i'm a newbie to drupal and css :-) thanks, you just made me realise that it was working when I first used the framework theme with the downloaded files from this article.

I managed to follow to the end and it all seems to be working except my text is showing underneath the photo rather than to the right hand side. Any ideas? thanks! thanks for the great tutorial!

I think I'll adapt the techniques for our website. I've noticed that you've ignore the "Promoted to front page" flag. If nodes are promoted, they will still get displayed, probably in the wrong place. Also, is there a way to disable the default front page (/node)? I am thinking about using a module to produce an empty page. Is there a better way? Thanks for the tutorial. I think I’ll adapt the techniques for our website.

Please let me know what you think might be the problem here. You can visit the site at www.lddesign.co.za/demo/takeoffonline which is still a demo site. Im still learning how to use drupal.
