I want to create professional articles with Drupal 4.7. I have been toying with the image module, the story module and other modules, but seems like the only option is to make my own module, and I really don't have time for that.
What i want to do is to be able to create articles like this:

This online example can clarify what I mean: http://www.digi.no/
Any suggestions on how to accomplish what is mentioned here?
I really appreciate your thoughts!
(It would be really great if we could make a module that could do all this..
I have noted that many people want a professional way to publish articles, without
hacking other modules..)

Spamming won't help
Spamming the forums with tons of the same post ... http://drupal.org/node/65466 ...
http://drupal.org/node/65464 ... won't make people more likely to help you. Your issue is a theming related. i suggest reading the manual about theming your site. In addition look at cck or flexinode if you want to create a module of your own design without knowledge of coding.

ok thanks
It was not my intention to spam..
hmmm... now I see why you say I'm spamming...
When I hit the submit button when trying to start this discussion noting happened for about twenty minutes, the page was just loading forever.. when I didn't find my post in the forum I tried again, and the same thing happened, so I hit the submit button again after maybe ten minutes.. It wasn't my connection that was the problem, however I noticed the drupal forum was slow at the moment.
