Have you thought of using forum type software. We have a forum set up to support a fan club, where the members effectively interact socially. They can upload pictures, and I have added simple support for embedded youtube videos(via a mod). Simple BBCODEs control formating I used Simple Machines Forum (SMF), and the population of users when they first started where relative newbies. They quickly learn the basics. http://www.simplemachines.org/ You just untar the package into a directory seen by the web site access it via a url (I think - it was a long time ago now - install.php) and it does the rest. You need a running MySQL, with a database, and user created, but it does the rest. -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
