I loved being able to atone for most of my mistakes when we went from 4.7 to 5.7. I'm interested in seeing what you turn out! Try everything … a lot of what you do in Drupal can be temporary.

Good to know that you can make different pages for different node types. I can definitely put this into action to solve some issues I'm having right now. From my reading it seems you can do something similar with Blocks by only making certain Blocks appear on certain pages. But your method would make it easier to turn a 3 column layout into a 2 column layout. Good to know. Thanks for the information.

You can create different page templates for different node types - see http://drupal.org/node/45944 ... this would allow you to put the 'right sidebar' block here or there depending on the content type. More likely, you'll want to actually put different things in the different block areas depending on whatever, so you can either code this by hand or use different themes for different parts of the site. I've used Taxonomy Theme in the past, http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_theme, but my inclination now is to use taxonomy for taxonomy only. Again, this is all for Drupal 4-5.

If you continue studying Drupal with this level of determination, you'll be on the short track to falling in love with this system :) Sounds like you’ve gotten quite far in a week.
