Notes, things I need to find out in Drupal

Notes, things I need to find out in Drupal. Temp, delete when all topics dealt with and doc'd elsewhere.

Q: Best way of migrating a site with static content
A: May not be best, but here's how I did it
* How to make some pages take the full width
* How to get images within content
Q: There must be better editors?
A: There are, pity there isn't one built in. I must try TinyMCE.
Q: Having enabled clean URLs, why can't I specify them easily when creating a new page?
A: I can, I just need to look carefully at the options when creating. Some are in collapsed sections that need clicking on.
* How to move login off the main menu
* How to avoid sending emails to new registration from my email addr (potentially revealing it to spammers)
Q: How to create contact form
A: Can't remember, but it turned out to be easy. Must be in admin somewhere.
Q: How to see how much will be displayed in the teaser
A: The position of the break can be controlled by putting a comment 'break' (no spaces around it) at the desired place.
* How to get a list of all (published) pages without clean URLs?
* How to organise image uploads (it seems Drupal just dumps them all in public/files)
* Useful info: Search engine-friendly migration http://drupal.org/node/17970
* If I edit existing content, it goes to the top of the front page again. How do I get it to stay where it was?
Now it seems to be staying where it was. Why does the behaviour change?
Q: How do I get <code> snippets to look good, why don't they come out well in the default bluemarine theme?
A: I need to learn more about CSS to fix this. Maybe bluemarine developers are so smart they never use code? D'oh!
Q: How do I change input format afterwards?
A: It seems this is quite a misleading term. What's stored is what you write. The "input format" (I think) is a filter that's applied when outputting the content. To see why this is a good way to do it, read http://acko.net/blog/safe-string-theory-for-the-web
* How do I control the appearance a bit more, without sacrificing ease of input. E.g. how do I indent my questions/answers nicely?
* How do I set up an unexpanded menu item so that it expands when I click on it?
