My website
Hey Theymos!
I have a website through freewebs.com [[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)]. Its a homework help site and I want it to be like here- where you can submit a question and everyone has the ability to answer it. My first question is- how can I do this?
I also want my website to be able to have people log in and access an account through my website. Is this possible? And if so- how can I do this?
Thank you! And by the way- I read the link from your forum about HTML- it was very useful.

Log-ins, forums, and message posting all require server-side scripting, typically PHP and MySQL. You'll also need a host that supports PHP and MySQL. Very few free hosts do; freewebs and geocities don't. PHP is more complex than HTML. It will take much longer to create.
You should, at a minimum, know HTML before starting to learn PHP:

It will also help a lot to know Javascript, since it is similar to PHP:

You can then use these tutorials to learn the basics of PHP and MySQL:

This free and ad-free host supports PHP and MySQL:

It's be perfect for learning. If your site gets too popular, though, you'll need to move to something else.
I also recommend you complete these tutorials, which will help you with good web design:

And consider reading the HTML specification:

If you don't want to go through all of that work, there are a number of pre-made PHP scripts available. Byethost (linked above) offers an extensive library of such scripts.
