Try... CSS, PHP... and a Login feature... dont use table always looks tacky and yeah frames can be fance just 1 or 2 not to many and slice the images... using rollover images might be a good idea... and use bright colors no dark backgrounds... flower images could be good.

No, I got confused because he inferred PHP and a login feature as like, almost parallel things, when in fact a login system is built by using PHP.
His thing was like:

Apples, Oranges, Bananas, Lemons, Gravitational Force of the Earth

Anyways, you get what I mean.

Use Dreamweaver / Frontpage if you're new at making templates; I never was really any good at making templates - that's why most of my sites are just plain programming, and not much else. If it's a site that needs a userbase, you need to incorporate PHP into it, which is pretty easy - all you need to do is...

1. Set up a MySQL database, and have some fields like

Code:

user_id | username | password [md5 hashed] | email | firstname | lastname | session_id | rank
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Use a PHP frontend to just call that information - what I usually like to do is store cookies with information like:

Code:

username||session_id

then compare session ID to the one in the MySQL database.
3. Set up protected pages, and check through some comparisons of $rank (define it as the "rank" in your table)

And you're done!
