ggg,

Thank you for your comments. I agree and am taking the approach you advise.

I don't really know what is meant by a template except that is a CSS. I would like to know more.

Does any of your websites face outward to where I could see them? I would love to see any of your scripts if it is OK to share. I will understand completely if it is not.

I have some experience with using mySQL and MS Access for a web facing db. One point of advice I can give is that it is fairly easy to set up input for mySQL using MS Access forms against a linked mySQL table, thereby easing any immediate need to architect web based input for a single administrator.

Of course this only works when input from end users is not critical, but it can buy you some time for managing the development and getting some intermediate test data in place. I found MySQL and Perl for the Web by DuBois (New Riders) to be invaluable for getting up to speed on core issues.

Thank you.
