Thanks for that Drew.

I decided to have a crack at this while I was on holiday in Australia recently and my son - who is a full-time consultant to the Australian Government on their IT work in their equivalent tot he DSS (or whatever we call it now!) - showed me stuff he was dong for himself on his own web site using WAMP and Joomla. I got the basic idea fairly quickly so now plan to produce a site using it. Probably take me some time but Joomla has a very comprehensive manual and good forum and I've also got all of you on here, not as many as we used to have some years ago, sadly, as it's always sad to see old friends fade away, but plenty of good advice I've been able to draw on.

Look forward to seeing you all around for the next ten years while I get to grips with this!

There are some really knowledgeable people on this list when it comes
to php so if you have any problems ask away. And of course there are
also php lists.

If you have a server at home, php and mysql are a breeze to add even
for windows.

Having moved from Perl to php I can say it is something you can pick
up at the basic to intermediate levels without too much trouble. The
manual is helpful but like so many manuals, only after you reach the
point where you already understand half of it.
