Moving updated files from test site to live site... Best Practices?

So, I got all the kinks worked out with the updates for my site (YAY!!!) and now I'm ready to update the live site. My concern is this... I updated the test site quite a bit to keep everything looking consistent and while doing that, my live site was being updated with new nodes and I want to incorporate both of these things. If I move all the files from the test site to my live site and run database updates, will I then have a live site with the nodes that aren't on my test site but with the work I've done to the test site?

Update PHP stalls

Drupal 7
Update.php stalls site in maintenance mode.

Okay every time I attempt to run the update script the run stalls at the 'apply pending updates' portion of the show.
The site is put (by the PHP) into maintenance mode and that is where it stops.

Here is the flow

1) I get a normal update screen : Only local images are allowed.

Is there a known safe list/website for...

...hacker IP addresses we can start populating our Block IP modules with? Any advance on the game...
I did a Google search on this but didn't see any sites that I know or could trust. Didn't want to just click into
a hornet's nest.

Thanks!

Action and Trigger timing question

Curious as to how often or how rapidly a triggered action moves in Drupal (7)?

I searched for this answer via the documents but...?

I have comments (by anonymous) going to a 'review' cue and not being published automatically.
The trigger/action is to fire off an email to (X) (in this case me ) stating there is a comment in the queue
ready for editorial review.

The question is, is this whole action, to include the emailing out to me, instantaneously or is it fired based on
a cron job?

Single poster, single site, multiple blogs to post to. Yeah, it happens.

I have a Drupal 7 site. Currently I am the only 'blogger' on the site. Core 'blog' module will only allow the logged on user to post to one blog. I have (so far) two blogs to post to. With core I can only post to one 'blog' as one user and then if I desire to post to any other blog...I have to create a separate account, separate username and all that, to post to another blog on the same site/install.

How to send email notifications for comments in Drupal 7 with actions & triggers

Found this article on setting Triggers and Actions that I thought might come in useful to those new to the Blog/article commenting thingy.

I wanted to queue comments (et al) for review before they went live on my site. This was driven by having to clean up 6 sites that had been infected. Many (not all) of the hacks were delivered through the comment module since it was (on those sites) completely unprotected.

Success!!!

Apparently it my files were too big to upload to the host server. So, all it really took to resolve the issue was a phone call. Now it's not the fanciest site you have probably seen but I'm very proud of it. Please let me know what you think. Thank you everyone for all of your help, otherwise this newbie might have not made it out alive ;)

Shipping

Just when I thought I was done, I realized that I have no idea how to set up shipping to be added to the cart. I don't see an option to add this to either. Should I just add it directly to the product price?

My views slideshow is taking over my front page

Hey guys! I've been trying to update a boatload of modules and core and I keep running into issues. Today, I was updating one module at a time (trying to isolate the problem) and all of a sudden the slideshow on my front page over took my right sidebar. I went in and restored all the files, but that didn't fix it. Any ideas how to troubleshoot. I went in the view and everything looks fine. I cleared the cache too. You can see what it's doing at bitterrootpubliclibrary.org.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
