How can I remove time record under the category!

check the "Display post information" under ?q=admin/themes/settings. The checkboxes there will add or remove the poster's name and the time the node was posted. If you just want to remove one of those pieces of info (ie, keep the name, lose the time) you will probably (to the best of my knowledge) need to adjust this in the code for the individual modules.

This is not that difficult -- I know very little PHP, and I was able to adjust the text displayed by the image.module. I did it through a lot of trial and error (mostly error), but by the time I had finished I knew a lot more about PHP and Drupal, so I felt I had gained something for my time.

RE the Drupal community being cold/unfriendly/etc -- we all have or own experiences. From my experience with Drupal, you can get good answers to your questions using the forums. But, sometimes it will be faster to slog through a test site, make mistakes, learn from them, and go on from there. And, the other advantage of searching the forums and working through the issue on the test site is that you get a much clearer sense of what Drupal can and can't do.

RE Drupal's un-intuitiveness: this is where experimenting with test sites helped me enormously. As I became more familiar with how Categories "contain" Terms, the organizational structure began to make more sense. In other words, what started as un-intuitive became intuitive -- it just took some time and thought.

Anyways. My .02

Wordpress confuses me but it is also a simpler product with it's odd terminology. It is focused on blogging and does that very well. Drupal has blogging capabilities as a component and modules that extend it, but is not focused on it. Virtually every term Drupal uses can be googled or found on wikipedia. :)

As to what node type you should use, well, that depends and you will have to experiment to find out what combination of modules works for you. There are a ton of contrib modules, well over a hundred. You will need to figure which combination works for you.

These are the standard modules I use on a default site install. blog, blogapi, help, image, menu, node, page, path, search , statistics, taxonomy, tracker. add from contributed modules image module, database module and interwiki. I use Page for 'static' content. I use blog for transitory content and announcements. Of course, now, what types of sites do I do and are they same as yours? Does knowing my standard use modules help you?

Drupal is very easy to install, Drupal has some very flexible capabilities. Say you had some colored paper, a pencil, a crayon and an ink pen. You to draw a building. How do you do it? With the pen, then pencil, the crayons? Whch color of paper do you use? Single story, two story? You need to have a goal and you need to spend some time getting familier with the tools you intend to use.

Drupal's power is in it's core simplicity and flexibility. The price of that simplicity is you have to learn and become familier with the tool. You can task assemble specific pieces to have a focused web site with a variety of off the shelf core and contributed modules without even needing to know php. If you know php, then you can extend your customization even further.

As to the other gentleman's comment that I wanted him to 'work' for the answer.... well, I was only providing information as to why some questions are left unanswered, not actually answering the original question. Ironically one of my earliest questions when I first joined was in a similier vein. It's only now looking at the link he posted that I realize the answer may not be correct for his situation. In generaly, modifying core modules an be avoided so that it doesn't come back to haunt you during upgrades :). In general, Drupal seperates content from display of content. Most display of information is controlled by the theme. More information on theme's is in the handbook. Find the variable displaying the information you dont want/need and remove it and adjust the surrounding text. In order to actually answer the original question, we would need to know the theme being used.
