I need a simple script installed where people add their own stories with no commenting from others..ect It will have about 8-9 categories that they could choose from..I would like the option to delete stuff as well..This is for a single parent website..I can't really afford to work on this right now but i really do need this installed..Let me know if you're interested and your price range.. Also i might have one more script job as well..Thanks!
Do one thing install wordpress and modify it to make users register as "author" level. And disable commenting. That should give you a pretty decent yet scalable solution.
