So after a month of playing around in the Drupal back end, theming and adding modules, I'm back to creating content. I've decided to get rid of the hierarchy that still need to get a nice camera to aid in the food adventures feature, and who knows? It may lead to some other
picture posts. I've been looking at the Lightbox module, for example... Imagine a Lightbox block with a randomly generated thumbnail. It could be pretty slick.

I've figured out how to hide a user-created field in CCK. But what I really want to do is control which fields appear for a given node depending on whether it is a block or not. My queries in the Drupal IRC channel suggest block templates may not be so fine-grained. We'll see.
