Are you wanting info on starting a website with database options etc.?

I was.

I think I may have found a solution.

Sometimes problems help to solve other problems, providing
some nice synergistic solutions.

This is one of those times.

I spoke to a web-dude that my brother knows.
The dude is expecting a kid soon and only just recently
returned to work. Trying hard to make ends meet after paying
his rent for a few months with his credit cards...

Anyhow, he does work on the side like web page stuff when he's
not doing it at his new job.

This data base stuff is a walk in the park for him.
He showed me some of the sites he maintains.
Creative dude. Nice work.

He gave me some ideas of what we can do and while talking to
him other ideas started popping into my head.

Each week during the season I usually send the game summaries
and highlights to the local papers. Once we get our website up
and running I plan to post the same stories along with photos
and other stuff. Thereby creating an audience each week who
reads the Mini Packers Sports Page...

I think we will be able to then generate some ad revenue that
will pay web-dude for maintaining it and in addition it will
help fill our coffers a little bit since it has been difficult
to find sponsors since our town won't let us put up any
billboards or huge scoreboards on the field.

Anyhow, if we can automate this registration process with the
online site, it will save us board members a ton of paperwork
and data entry.
