I'm hoping someone can tell me if there is a drupal module that will recreate the column of images with dropdown captions in the UK online newspaper site http://www.guardian.co.uk/ (third column). Or indeed if there's some other way of doing this in Drupal 6. Thanks a lot, Mike.

I do not know about the drop down captions (perhaps create a new content type, with a caption field atop an image field?) but it is not difficult to arrange a series of image blocks as depicted on the website to which you refer. This could be done with the View module; for example, upload a set of 10 images, then create a view block that contains what is essentially a table listing of the image content type. Manipulate CSS to get the images lined up the way you want. You can change the order by which the images are sorted, and the overall block can be fully dynamic.

Here is a module for image captions:

Yeah-- thats pretty slick. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but it looks pretty straight forward. There's a couple of other nice tutorials on that site as well.
