Yep, it takes tons of time to help out, or lots of people doing a little
bit. I just had 5 days off. I spent most of it in the house at the
computer. I want my hour back!! :-)

Who made it public, The scoundrel should be hung up on the yard arm. to dry
out... <Still whistling and backing away)
The Php nuke (or dotNetNuke for the windows .net followers) idea is an
alternative for me 'cause I struggle to make front page work, do it
poorly and this may be a reasonable alternative to get users involved in
contributing links and content without a lot of fuss.
Still, to truly make it a personalized site and NOT look like all the other
php sites, is above my programming skills anymore. (I never was much good
when i was good at it. COBOL wasn't bad but I haven't been able to find
any cobol web authoring packages). I am gonna keep trying to make it work
but it would be easier to just skip the whole plan and leave it as is....

I wouldn't think that it would unless you take a likeing to rewriting the
php modules writing new php modules and changing the guts of the php
program just for fun. (doesn't sound like fun to me but it would be a
challenge)
