<p>hi, so i'm trying to make a website for my service organization. i want it so that people can sign up for projects on the website- they'll have to register on the website and then sign in. then when an administrator (me) logins in i'll be able to see who signs up for which projects. i've been using ms frontpage and trying to publish it on biz.ly but it's sort of confusing. i'm not GREAT at computers but i'm a fast learner, any tips? i know it's hard..but i want to TRY. trying doesnt hurt, right? </p>
<p>anybody got any tips? tutorials that can help me? any free programs out there?</p>
<p>Hey~! I do the same thing as you (btw, what website is it? just curious...)
How u advertise matters on what subject the website is on. give me the subject an i mite be able to help >.<</p>
<p>don't succumb to frontpage! Stay away from it. Look into php as others have mentioned, but if you really don't want to learn about all of it, then just hire a local web designer. Some of them are surprisingly cheap and your school may cover the bill</p>
<p>yeah i looked into php nuke but it seems like you have to download a server? seems like alot of downloading- sql server, are they for free or can i download them off the internet? </p>
<p>Um, php is a scripting language. So is sql, it has to do with data management.</p>
<p>You have to have a server to put your websites online, that's what biz.ly does, I think. You just need to learn the languages, make your codes, and then you should be ready to upload the files onto the server. </p>
<p>for using pretty much any CMS like mambo or moodle you're going to need web hosting that includes PHP and mySQL. if you look around you'll be able to find a couple of decent free hosts which may or may not be reliable.</p>
<p>You could do it using only HTML with a mail form, but it's slower, less efficient, and requires constant human intervention to update the list. So, I wouldn't recommend that route.</p>
<p>Learn PHP and MySQL, definitely, if you want an attractive, interactive interface that requires less human interference day to day.</p>
