Just not acquainted with them, and my métier is servers and networks
(i.e. infrastructure) not content so my learning is going slowly.

Alan, thanks for the feedback and the comments. Would you mind going
into a little more 1-2-3 detail here? I can understand the *concept* of
what you are saying, but am utterly helpless to move forward with it
given my current level of knowledge.

I've been wanting to do this for *months* and simply don't have anywhere
near the skillset required, which is why I decided to outsource it or
get help with it.

Any comments welcome... but please, do take into account that as far as
PHP and friends go I am still at Level 1. 

Thanks!
