Hi

So I am making a review website. I would currently like the general format to be like a blog.

So My latest review is at the top, but importantly, as I add a new review it pushes the older ones down the page. How can I do this?

In addition to that, how would I make it so that once I hot the bottom of my webpage it tok the old ones over the next page?

Lastly, how can I make a comment system? So that if someone were to click on a review they see at the bottom a simple comment system allowing them to add comments?

Would appreciate any help, thank you.

I haven't used them but I believe most Content Management Systems will do this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system for a start.

Any of the web cms systems can handle this, but if you want to do it the easy way, try either Blogger or Wordpress. If you don't want to use a hosted system, you can install Wordpress on your own web space. A third option is to use RapidWeaver - the blog plugin supports commenting via Haloscan.

Ok cool. Another thought I just had was how can I tag entries/reviews so that when someone searches my website they appear?

I know from experience that both Blogger and Wordpress let you do this at the same time as you write the post.

Wordpress will be perfect for you - you can host it yourself or use wordpress.com and there is even a review/rating plugin so people can give star ratings to your entries if that's something you're interested in.

Check it out :)
