Remote website editing

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum....

I`ve been scratching my head with this one.

I have several members on my site/forum who would like to contribute to a small section on the homepage. They do not have much html experiences, neither do they wish to. I do all the grunt if you will!!

The small section on the homepage gets updated daily, but I would like the other guys to be able to edit/update this as I barely have time to do it myself.

How can I set up a script or something, like a simple text editor for them that would enable them to update this small area of the webpage. This would really save me time.

I know none of what I said makes any sense I`ve added a link showing the area where I would like to enable this? Maybe there is something freely available on the net, but I`m not sure what to look for!!

This would probably be a php/MySQL job. If you can set up a password-protected page that only your friends can use, then you could pull the text from the database and put it into a textarea in which it would be editable and it would then update the existing text.

That's the basic idea as far as I can see.

Are you able to use php/MySQL?

Yes, php/mysql is not a problem. I think I see where you are going with this. Still going to be a `head scratcher` for sure!!

I was hoping it would be made easy, and a ready available script would be on the net!! I have no idea what I would need to search for though!

Here's an article about passwords.

You probably want to search for "blog scripts" or CMS.
You can demo many of these at opensourcecms, if is up.
Hope that helps a bit.
