The main problem is that I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for, actually. I have two goals for the site that I'm trying to get to. The first one is to get rid of the tables and use style sheets for layout. I almost had it before but then I decided I didn't have any more time to invest in getting it completely right. I'm not actively working on this part right now, actually, which I realized this morning is stupid since I should do this first to avoid doing it twice. The other thing (which I was looking for yesterday) is finding a lightweight content management system to use for this. I really wanted to keep my logical urls and directories in place but I'm negotiable on that, I guess. The portals are way overkill and are proving to be a pain in the rear to customize to fit the project. I have CuteNews (site is cutephp.com but it's been down for days) installed for the first page's updated links and working correctly (although it's not actually in place yet) and was thinking about ways to use it more widely since it fits into each page rather than fitting a page around something else, but then it was pointed out to me that there's a couple of security issues with it, one of which I don't know how to fix. (http://www.secunia.com/advisories/9150/) So anyway. I've spent quite a bit of time poring over the specs for various scripts and have tried a few of them to see if they might work, but at this point I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I just need something that will allow the editors certain permissions to update content, while not being too complicated for them either. (Not the most techie group I've ever seen!) Anyway, thanks for the offer.. if I come up with anything to ask about, I'll keep it in mind. One of my plans before was to learn php.. you might regret your offer if I ever get around to that. ;)
