ok, well, i installed a gamer theme (ithri 35 game 3c) because i like the simple layout and the image carousel at the top. it's perfect. but i don't know how to add images to the carousel. and i cant figure out how to get rid of the developers navigation (entertainmenttoronto.platinumj.ca is the site). i'm also having a little problem with modules opening to their directory instead of their index page. is this because it's a subdomain? i have rerouting on to make the web address open to the site index.php...

alternatively, i could use a simple theme and add an image module but i searched and couldn't find any that have a carousel listed as a feature. can someone tell me if any of them have that function?

which of the above options is better/easier?

and about a blog module? any recommendations?

the site concept is very simple...advertisements at the top and links in the body. that's all i want. i will eventually develop it into a full community but for now, just the pix and the links.

regarding the links now, its actually small files that i will be hosting...new release tracks from local artists. i want to set it up by date...latest releases at the top and was planning to use a blog module and just paste links. but while i was looking at modules i found some directory modules for downloads. i love the choices but it's overwhelming trying to choose without a little guidance. any suggestions?

i know this is such a long message...sorry
