Sharepoint 2007 : Possible or Impossible

[cremaster]

Hello all,

I'm programming a french website under Sharepoint 2007.
A friend of mine, told me some advice that i consider like "absurds".
Can you confirm or deny it :

With Sharepoint 2007, it's recommended :
- to not using english word in the css style, because it interfers with the css species of sharepoint ?
- to avoid the use of Position: relative and Z-index
- to avoid making vertical menus and use them with different colors for the the buttons (one colour for one section of this menu)?

Right or Wrong ?
Thanks in advance
Kind regards !

Sorry, i've forgotten a last question :

Is it possible to use a thumbnail of news (a rotator including pictures and text) with several entries in Sharepoint 2007, with the help of Javascript ?

Currently, this same friend of mine tested it, and we was only able to use one news (displayed in loop) on his sharepoint homepage (although, the thumbnail had several entries). Strange, isn't it ?
