i too am a relative newbie here... hence my dismay at the swift and immediately harsh reaction to this thread.

i answered your original post because i had gone through what you were experiencing, and it only took a second. plus, there are surely others with similar concerns.

i think OT 'nodes' (ie, posts, permanent pages) are strictly verboten, but you can ask OT questions in the "Chatterbox" on the left. That interface isn't the greatest, but apparently several people have written other (better?) clients for it..

anyhow, good luck and have fun!
