Tips for Interactive Web Development

[mercy0001]

I know there are a lot of free web building tools like webs (I have one) But I've hosting space received from my provider and I would like to create a simple website. (not about games, but to help student who are studying Japanese.)

I already have a good knowledge of HTML code and CSS code,
But I want to make my website a little bit more advanced/interactive . Like this website, with news updates and also a comments section (of course much more simplified and smaller as this website)
For that website I'm going to use the free tools: Kompozer and Fillezilla. (They're great)

For my comments page/updates section I need to have some sort of database. But I know NOTHING about databases:blink:
Could somebody give my a brief tutorial or links about the creation of a database, and maybe PHP (if I really need it?) I have already the scripts for a comments page. Also, I have only webspace for 50mb. Is this enough?

Thank You, and sorry for my long explanations and dutched English^_^

Do you have a link to your page. I would love to see what you have so far. I went to school for web design but most of the time I work in flash. Sorry I can't be much of a help to you but will talk to some friends to find any info.

It doesn't sound like you have access to a database server and on shared hosting, creating one is impossible. The news system we use can be used without a database: http://www.cutenewsru.com/

Select txtsql when installing. Have any troubles, feel free to ask here.
