Don't mean to hijack the thread, but i guess this is on topic. I've also got a web site which I designed myself using very basic html. I tried to use style sheets to simplify my design, but it never really did work for what I was trying to do (include a standard header and set of buttons on each page). I'd also like to include a simple message board and private mail, but don't really know what to use. I need to stick with open source / freeware. Would Wiki or PHPNuke work for me?
