Okay I have an idea for a site where a user can type a word in a simple text box, hit submit, and the word is placed in a database (supposedly MySQL). Each time the word is submitted it's value will go up by 1, it is supposed to count how many times it's submitted. It should also contain information on when it was last submitted.

After that I need an RSS feed to update to show the words in order of how many times its been submitted and another to show them in the order of last submitted.

I have basic (VERY BASIC) skills with PHP and not much(except using PHPmyAdmin and installing Wordpress). How hard do you reckon this is and can you please help me to get this working?

Check out Ruby on Rails:

Whatch the demo video, and see how easy it would be for you to create such a thing in a matter of minutes (seriously). :D
