1. I disabled the log in form on the main page, now how do I get to the admin panel? (Please note, I have a local install of drupal, php, MySQL and Apache for Dev purposes.) 2. How can I create drop down menus? 3. Is there a way I can change the layout for a certain page? Such as I want the main page to be two columns while others to be one with tables or something to that effect for grid data. How can I do this?
1. To login, you should always be able to go to http://yourhost/user to get to the login page. Unless you do extra actions to disable that page of course. And if you're already logged in and want to get to the admin panel, you can visit http://yourhost/admin/ to see it.
2. I don't know off the top of my head, but you should be able to use pretty standard DHTML stuff to insert dropdown menus using your theme or a module. Drupal by default includes JQuery now, so you have a pretty powerful Javascript library to use as well. Quickly searching Google, I found Nice Menus which might do what you want. Look around.
3. I recall there being a few modules that let you do custom pages, or you can go whole hog and create new page.tpl.php files. For example, if the internal URL of the page you want to treat specially that's accessible at yourhost/grid you can create copy page.tpl.php in your current theme to page-grid.tpl.php and do whatever you want to that. Using different page templates depending on the current path talks about that.
