I have a website I am working on for a friend, it needs a few things to be really good.

www.popularparanoia.com

This is a web-magazine type of website on drupal 4.7.2 running on linux distro.

I have added the modules adsense, Category, Views, epublish (not used at all, didnt care for it but has not been removed yet.), Image, image assist, movie review, poormans cron, system info, tinymce, webform).

I have the page laid out with the bluemarine theme.

How can I have each "issue" archived and set aside for browsing ?

Adsense is currently not working correctly. Unless I set adsense in a block and enable as html, (which bypasses the module I think) it doesnt work. I stil see the adsense ad from the admin account whch should not be possible.

How can this be corrected ?

What can be done to give the site more "pizzaz" so it looks more professional (other than a new theme which I cannot afford.)

thanks for any help.

Was looking at your site and wanted to suggest moving the user login block to the top of the page.

For the "pizzazz" factor, go with a different theme. You don't need to spend money. Try dropping in Fancy or Meta. IMHO they look slick and would work well on your site.

I'm not sure what you mean by "issue" -- I take it the regular archive module won't do? Myself, I like to assign the calendar archive block, assign it to display as "content", and then restrict it (in the admin block configure page) display with only the archive node. This makes for a fairly browseable way to check out the old content.

well, basically I tend to post every couple days and add more material.

But I would like to have (at a certain point) have it all set as an "issue" (all the material between a certain date range listed, so you can click on a "back issue" link and see the page as it was at that point)

I don't think the archive module handles a date range -- only one day. Perhaps a feature request to the module?

Well, I know that "The onion" has "back issues" you can click on and go to the website at that point for the earlier issue...

Im hopig to duplicate that

Yeah, it seems that the onion has some module that handles it's home page and has backissues of each of the homepages. I can't seem to find a module that does this and it seems that whenever this question is asked the standard response is, "I don't understand."
