    Hey, well I'm pretty new to php but i know a bit about html.

    All i wana do is make a simple homepage to show off all my sites that i have.

    Id like it to be like

    Banner
    -----------------
    1 | 2
    -----------------
    3 | 4


    So on and so on... Maybe using a table.

    But now the main part. I'd like it to just have a page hidden somewhere, were i can just go and then i use that page to add new websites. Like have it ask for the thumbnail, title, description etc. I know it sounds quite a lot like a directory but it's gona be wayyy less complex. If anyone could give me tips, point me in the right direction or show me how to do it it would be great!

    Why not use a simple free CMS.
    you can do pretty much everything you wanted from Joomla 1.5 CMS.
    You don't have to know PHP or HTML.

    if you want to build the website from scratch you need to:
    1. make a HTML website(<div></div>) with a good css.
    2. PHP Admin Panel - make the admin panel so it will display dynamic information on your website.

    I prefer to use the second option because if the website fails I still can sell the script for a very low price.
    This way is also harder and its going to take a lot of time to create.
    But it will look very nice and professional.

    If you decide to choose the second one I can give you help with coding - PM me.

    XML will do the job. XML is the best way to do this without using a database. Google "XML tutorial".

    If you don't know PHP... I think working with something like wordpress would be a little easier to get going!
