Dustin, Check out my links page, which I use as a homepage at http://www.dadstoy.net/tasport . This is generated with PHP and a text file of data. If you want to use it for BRLUG, let me know. Actually, what you'll see is actually hosted on @Home and is a static file. I use PHP and Apache on an in-home, local-net-only web server, and periodically save a copy into my dadstoy.net web in FrontPage. Too bad @Home doesn't offer PHP. I'm thinking about going somewhere else, and looking at alternatives, especially for my new Palm OS oriented site http://www.dragonlode.com . Any suggestions?
