If you are a member of Lynda.com, they have 2 tutorials in there, one dealing with setting up the site and maintaining it, and another one that shows you how to display certain items in Drupal. I found both quite helpful to get a basic understanding of configuration and administration.

Please, ask specific questions

Hi, welcome to Drupal!

Although I have always regarded the Drupal community as a helpful community, please, don't push your luck. Most people will not take the time to write you an n-page document how to set up Drupal and start your website. People who are willing to do that will probably not answer you directly, but add their work to the documentation project or submit some tutorial.

Please, read the documentation, search for tutorials, search for specific information you are still missing. If you still can't figure it out, post a question, but be specific. Explain what you try to accomplish, what you tried, and how this did not give you the result you expected. This way, it takes other people who are willing to help you, the least amount of time.

Oh, and don't forget to be specific in the subject line too. Most people do not open every single post, but scan the subject lines to see if there is anything that suits there knowledge/ field of expertise and only open those post to read further.

Greetings,
Mark

Image insertion in the body

Image insertion in the body text is not directly supported from core. You have to install a module to get this functionality. You can find the module repository on the drupal website (http://drupal.org/project/Modules). Support for images is found in the "Content" section (http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=tid%3A57&solrsort=sis_project_...).

An example of a module for inserting images in your body text is the Image Assist module (http://drupal.org/project/img_assist), which depends on the Image module (http://drupal.org/project/image). If you also install a WYSIWYG editor (http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg together with TinyMCE), you get a working solution wherein you can insert image from within the WYSIWYG-editor.

eCommerce solutions can be found in the eCommerce section of the module repository: http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=tid%3A104&solrsort=sis_project...

A popular shopping cart module is Ubercart (http://drupal.org/project/ubercart) for which module a lot of extension modules are available.

I hope this gets you started.

Welcome to Drupal!

Your question is really broad, so it's hard for us to give detailed answers. You may want to read http://drupal.org/forum-posting for helpful tips.

I advice you to start reading the getting started section of the documentation (http://drupal.org/getting-started). I recommend that you start building a fully functional Drupal site first (set up modules, content types, views etc. etc. in the default theme) and do not worry too much about the design at first.

Next, check out the Drupal theming guide (http://drupal.org/theme-guide) since it sounds as if you will be making your own custom theme. You can create a custom theme from scratch, but it's often easier to start with a base theme (see http://drupal.org/node/323993).
