Hi!

I have a simple blog site made with Drupal. I want to create categories for blog and put my posts under different categories. I also want to create a feature where user can ask questions and other users can answer the questions.

I want to know what's the way to create a custom database in drupal and how to plug in my php that does all of the above? Any place where I can get started?

Thanks,
Keyguy

If you have a drupal site already (as you indicate in your first sentence), you do not need a "custom database." Just go to content management, categories, and create your taxonomy. Then enable the forum module.

how about putting blog under a category? Say I want to create a blog for dog food and I want it to appear under category "dog". Blog about cat food under "cat". Basically creating sub blog categories.

You can use Taxonomy for Blog too. Please see the handbook on Taxonomy for more information.

But if you want to separate the content of the two blogs, you can create two distinct sites with one drupal installation. But I've never tried that.
