I use the old Mambo 4.5.2. In the latest version however the name has changed to Joomla. You can use a plugin called 404 SEF (Search Engine Friendly) that allows pretty good control over the urls. This is all open source CMS, so expect a few bugs here and there, but all in all it's a very good solution.\n\nYou can go to Joomlaya.com to download the latest version of Joomla and a load of components and skins for your template.

These days there are 100's if not 1000's of CMS out that do exactly what you want to do. You should pick a CMS that could grow with your website and you are able to add options to it with time.\nHere are few that I have used and am very happy with them:\nMambo Open Source: Very easy to use and is very expanable. The current core team is a bit slow to fix security holes.\nJoomla!: This is a fork of Mambo. Very active core team, comes with 100's of add-ons and thems and support is outstanding.\nWebsite Baker: If you want a website where you won't be needing people to register for your website then this is the CMS you should look into. Exelect for small business and building a portfolio website.\n\nThere is also an outstanding website if you want to try out more than 100 CMS': http://www.opensourcecms.com

Why waste your time with Web Development Software where you can use already made templates to make an amazing site. I recommend Weebly at http://www.weebly.com/ which is the best in its class. You can also use Google page creator which isn't as good as Weebly but does the job. http://pages.google.com/

Use MySQL. You can download it free from http://www.mysql.com/ You should also download the Administration tools that come with it. They are very useful. You may also download phpmyadmin, a web-based admin tool you that works on a PHP-enabled server. You will find it very easy to setup and use. These tools are powering many websites on the net. Of course, you webhosting package must have PHP/MySQL enabled. All technologies mentioned are Open Source.

Sounds like you are a candidate for either phpBB, a popular open-source forum management system or Blogger.\n\nWhile both are primarly message-oriented systems, phpBB is more geared towards a community while Blogger is more of a blogging system that can be adapted for content management.\n\nBoth of them offer plugins that allow for subscriptions.\n\nGood luck!

I use Dreamweaver for getting the basic layout done the way I want it then I hack into it with PHPdev, nice syntax highlighting MDI text editor.\n\nAs far as I know (and I am prepared to be wrong here) the are no visual editiors (ala VB or Delphi) for PHP at the moment.

There are lots of various scripts in Internet.\nIf PHP is good for you. try the following links, just two of thousands:

Well there are three good cheap ones:\n\nBravehost, GeoCities, Tripod.\n\nBravehost is good but harder to learn, Yahoo GeoCities has bad templates but easy to learn.  I'd take Tripod.

This is an extremely simple CMS (Content Management System), yet it creates new pages, categories, articles, etc. and can be completely customized.  \n\nhttp://www.solucija.com/home/snews/\n\nThis would be great for news listings. If you need blogging software I'd go with wordpress.

I use Adobe/Macromedia Dreamweaver 8. It does static and Dynamic web pages. You can download a free trial version from their web site and they have tutorials on line to help you learn the program.\n\nAlso w3schools have good tutorials on html php sql mysql and heaps else.

Best combination I have used is:\n\n1) Apache We Server.\n2) MySQL (for database).\n3) PHP (scripting).\n\nThis works on all major OSes.
