Alright, let me start by saying that I don't know much about databases, next to nothing actually. If you read my sig, you'll notice I run a hardware site and have been doing so for about 1.5 years now. It's gotten to the point where even multiple SSI integrations don't cut it. We need database software. But this is no simple project. I need to be able to do anything anywhere anytime. If it sounds ambitious, it is. Here's the "Iwanna list":
I want to be able to change the ENTIRE layout of EVERY page on the site with just a few clicks.
I want to be able to add/remove/modify ANY features I see fit.
I want to be able to post news and articles and any and all kinds of updates from remote locations.
I want a control panel that gives me access to pretty much anything and everything on the site.
I want to be able to organize any news/reviews/articles in any way I see fit.
I basically want software integration that will let me change an entire site's operation without changing hundreds of pages manually.
Things like on-site search engines, polls, stats, "print this page", security (read: anti-hack) and backup features are just minor things that I should be able to add at any time. I daresay I want what Anandtech has. Unfortunately I don't have that kind of a budget. I'll be doing research for the next 3 weeks and hopefully I can get something up during the first week of April (Spring Break for me). If not it'll have to wait til the summer when school is out. Any information would be GREATLY appreciated, and so would software recommendations/prices and who could help me set the stuff up (if I can't do it myself, which I doubt I could). I hope you guys can help a fellow ATer out
