Yup, you just hit the nail on the head with that one Justin. I am sure this isn't the best way to learn PhP, but I am running out of ideas for making this website work. Static content just seems boring these days, so I would liek to "spice" up the site by having the band members themselves contribute to the site, instead of me always doing it.
It might bring people to the site more often, and make it more interesting for the band members. I just have to figure out whwre to start, thats all.
