You should have tried for something more originall.

Like what, a different portal script? Any of them I used would be essentially the same in the end run, PHP Nuke is just the one I chose.

Looks to be a good start! (though I agree about the mediocre look of the php-nuke sites; very cookie-cutter looking).

Well... I do plan on customizing the default theme.

To the rest of you, thanks!

gotta agree with fyron there.

php-nuke is a good content management system...

This allows the content to be created and maintained dynamiclly.

As the site grows and more and more people chip into the site the site grows.

To do this without a content management system is a huge waste of time. As you will be doing the same stuff over and over to upkeep the contents of the site.

Why not automate it.

Sure pretty sites are nice to look at.... But it is the content that keeps you coming back.

This is the difference between a programmer and a graphics designer concepts of web development.

If you want it to look nice... why not create icons , fonts , banners etc... for him and then fyron can work on the php end to add that.

That is a good idea. In fact, Kwok already helped me some with the banner.

Or use ASP

sorry thermo you lost me

how does using asp affect the content management system ???

asp on its own is just another scripting language

[Thermodyne]

As the content changes, ASP alters the html that the browser displays.

You need to change the text in line four of your default page. It sets a link of "PHP nuke Powered Site", which is what a lot of them set, and it gets confusing.
