Story of Your Inconsequence

ok - so is it possible to apply an attribute to a folder which will designate everything posted therein to be automatically published, leaving the author the option of not publishing when posting stuff? I'm sure that information's in here somewhere, but I can't face the prospect of wading through all kinds of shit to find it

Is it also possible to set a personal default preference for fontFamily/fontSize/colour & stuff? Is that a feature of the additional option stuff available when creating a folder? Should I be asking these questions in a forum? How many light bulbs does it take to change a poet?
