Hey dieselstation,
Yea, we've got an intranet ("database file"

 and it makes it much eaiser to add content. From there; we can add news, pics and other such material. If you are just starting off, you might wanna try something basic like 
newspro. Or you can even try, if your host supports SSI, including a TXT file then just updating that TXT file every now and then, that's a lot eaiser than installing any CGI scripts.
