Ive been at it with ideas.. already created a website and added overall look and feel
of it.
Already admins can login and and post news. and news are displayed on
frontpage. I have been wanting to do the site with CSS, which is the
only technology here Im unfamlier with so currently that has taken about
95% of the total time.. but Im focusing more in on features now. Didnt
have anytime yesterday, but I did spend a few hours on wednesday after
the exam so there is a good start :)

Okey nice :) Although I would really really appreciate critisim here! I think my
style is a bit old school. Perhaps a good thing ;) The current layout
looks good I think but it needs to be better, and hopefully everything
concerning layout and graphics can be fixed within the CSS file/code. As
Ive noticed CSS is a lot more complex than I thought so learning that
will take a bit longer, but the general layout is there right now.
