Oi I have a lot to learn, but here are the takeways for me today.
First the community: I appreciate the culture of sharing and helping new users. There is a tremendous amount of information about Drupal out there, and can be (is!) overwhelming when figuring out how to get started. Folks are great at mentoring you in helping you get started. I always recommend reading the manual. In this case, take some time to research your question first before asking, that way you can make better use of your time with the person you ask the question of.
Drupal is highly flexible. start slow. add incrementally and not a lot of modules right away. Think of the bicycle factory metaphor. your modules and nodes pass information along, so if you get too much there, you will confuse yourself and the system pretty quickly.
Use CCK. you will have more control and flexibility with your site.
If you are University of Washington affiliated, some of us have started a UW Drupal site to help us grow and support the community there. Find it at http://depts.washington.edu/uwdrupal.
