Creating Blogs and Forums
Are there any great tutorials on how to add Blogs and Forums to the website? Also, how can I add guestbooks?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
You'll need a seperate database table for each one, designed specifically to hold that data. Then you need to program your page to access the database and say pull out the latest 5 database entries (for blogs). For forums, you pull out the category titles.
There is far too much to explain sadly here. You need to become familiar with database access via web pages, and then become familiar with database table design. What is your current level of expertise?
If all of this sounds a bit scary, there are other sites that offer free forums and blogs that you can use.
