Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
Ok ok I'm not a noob, or not that much. Any way I'd like to setup a simple blog on my site so visitors can harrass...err comment as they please. Two PHP scripts I really enjoy are Phorum and Sphider as their (X)HTML templates allow me to easily include my self-written site's PHP headers and template files (templates are essentially just chunks of generic XHTML). I would prefer a flat file database if possible. I already have checked out Simply PHP blog though I'm reading about vulnerabilities and I can't do more then one PHP includes otherwise the page is served blank (a total WTF?! issue there).
Generally speaking, flat file databases are less secure than relational databases. Any script kiddy with half a brain can crack into one without too much difficulty.

That's quite a bold claim, care to elaborate or demonstrate?
(I agree that flat file databases are not good, though not for security reasons)
Feel free to follow my blog, in Preview VI you'll have the ability to add your own CSS, JavaScript, DHTML (with the option of saving functions per library such as jQuery or Mootools), and onload events. Until then turn up your RGB and you think that is "bright" then turn down your screen's brightness. Most screens by default only show about half their color range so they typically are very dark looking.
