Changed from absolutely positioned DIV's to floating ones ... not sure why. Added a bit of colour. Moved the content up in the source. Still have some CSS optimising to do, though.

Your thoughts, good and bad, are welcomed.

CMS = content management system.

MySQL is a way to hold all that information in a database, then access it through either the "get" or "post" PHP methods - usually.

Why does it even require MySQL? All I wanted was a quick way to modify a navigation bar without having to change every single page

=S

It's ok, I've figured it. I thought you said this was easy =P
I have no knowledge of MySQL. Are there any decent tutorials around?

Thanks coin. Is there any way I can check my MySQL username and password?

If you want an easier CMS, download wordpress. 5 minute install, real easy...

Oh righty. Thanks. I just kinda skimmed through them this morning and picked up the word 'perl' a few times but i guess thats something different

Nope - just follow the instructions.

ok, I've downloaded MT. Do you need any knowledge of perl to use it?

I use the the free "1 author, 3 weblogs" version and I'm using it on 2 weblogs, timmargh.net and beepclick.co.uk

I think I made a small donation a while back, but I can't really remember.

Timmargh, do ya pay for MT? Or do you use the 1 user version?

Plus, is it better than TextPattern / WordPad? I used to use MT, before it went pricey...
