Module development and code questions

While i'm busy trying to sort some things out for making a new imageapi, i think it would be nice if people tell me what they expect from such an api. What should it do, and not even less important, what shouldn't?

Currently I'm having the following point:

Does anyone know how to make the title of a node link to that node, for example on drupal.org "Drupal 4.4.0 release candidate" the title is a link to the node. I had help from another user with this issue, but I couldn't get it to work properly.

When a blogs title was clicked, it would link to /weblink/goto/### when it should link to /node/view/###. This would bring up a 404 error. But if a weblinks title was clicked it worked fine.

I'm trying to come up with the best way to add website subscription for a project I'm working on. I'm thinking it might be possible by adding my code through the user hook. I was looking at the $type variable and it seem that I need a new type for inserting myself into the new user process.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Is this where I should look and can I use the existing types?

I'm currently using drupal to put together a database of internet access plans for New Zealand. I've classfied each plan (node) by ISP, Access Method, Type (Residential/Commercial), and Locations Available, using the taxonomy system. However, I'm coming up against a few problems: First, the heirachy seems a little flat - to my mind, any term in a taxonomy should be a child of that taxonomy as a whole, and that taxonomy needs a page listing all its terms. The same applies to terms in a heirachial taxonomy - shouldn't terms with children show a list of child terms?

Hi,
Ive been working on a module, its working very roughly, I was wondering if its of intrest to anyone else, or if someone would read through the code and point out the major issues.

The idea is all my blogs have images, normally a spool of pics from my digital camera. So you write a blog and attach a zip file full of images or a single image. pblog stores these on the server and creates the thumbnails etc. The pblog block displays a random pic from a random pblog with a link to the node. The teaser image is also random. Its all still very rough but it works for me.

I would like to add date/time release blog entries. Example: Enter something today that I don't want to display on the frontpage until next week. (I would like to move a blog I have running in Nucleus to Drupal, but can't until I am able to add this feature).

I will be able to do the coding once I figure out where the necessary functions, etc. are located in Drupal.

Can anyone point me to the areas?

Thanks.
