I thought I knew what I was doing. I have a domain name, hosted with godaddy.com. I am working on a Windows computer. I want a site that, similiar to a blog, I can simply update on the web instead of having to upload files to the server. I want to keep my domain name and hosting. I looked at Word Press and think it would be perfect for what I need, but I can't get it to work with Godaddy for the life of me. I tried using dreamweaver, and I can do the html but when it comes to php and mysql i have no idea what i'm doing, but apparently that is what you need in order to have a website with the conveniences of a blog set-up. Please help!!! Thank you!!!

If you're going to build a blog from scratch (very cool), I suggest first learning php and mySQL. In order to make it easier, download phpmyadmin. This will help you build and maintain your databases securely. I'd contact godaddy about setting this up if you need help. I'm sure php and SQL would run fine on their server. Taht reminds me... I plan on getting a web host soon. Who's service should I get?

If you're only building an uploader for yourself, you may not even need SQL (depends on your functionality). Use php to write to an external text file. I learned all this stuff last quarter in class, but it was a tough class. You may be able to do this with javascript, I'm not sure.

I think there may be premade applications on the web you can download that will do what you need.
