With alot of support from Moonchaser, it is now ready to go live. It has been an interesting project. I had the opportunity to learn another programming language, although there is very little programming with this site. This new site will allow registered users to upload photos that will randomly appear on the main page. Registered uses can submit articles that can appear on the main (news) page. Special thanks also goes out to Doodad-Jr, who does all my artwork and is quickly becoming my programmng consultant.
