Okay...

Having taken a look at Blark, I now find that this problem is solved for the moment (though I'm having a reply problem to articles,
but I can try working that out or posting another email as a seperate topic). Thank you all for the help. :) I still, however,
haven't had anyone tell me about a swishdot list or the like. :) *hint..hint*

Now, As I mentioned in my previous posts, I'm trying to make a high end 3D portal for us 3D graphic artists (who use Maya, XSI,
Lightwave, Houdini, and the like). Anyway, I want to include not only free web space where members can upload pictures to their own
galleries that people can browse, but also have featured newest pictures placed on the front of the CMF portal site, automatically
with a thumbnail and link, etc... Is there a way to do this in CMF? Any packages out there? I checked out the Zope Zoo tutorial but
I wouldn't really know how to code that up in a CMF environment. I'm also looking for something that is pretty automatic, giving
users a chance to build their own public accessible pages with a few clicks, and giving me the chance to publish pics on the front
so as to feature new pictures, articles, etc...

Anything I can do to make this possible and fairly easy?

Thanks again for the Blark/Swishdot/Squishdot info. Blark *does* look cool. I'll check it out more at work.

Oh..and btw, not only pictures, but .avi and .mov files would be nice as many of us are animators, and that would be really cool to
show off our animation skills to the world.

Note: There already are a few sites that do this, like highend3d.com and renderosity.com, but nothing like what I'm envisioning.
I've already got the artists waiting for me to get the site up with their own content, because they like my vision of what is
missing in the high end 3D world. :)

Thanks again,

Newbie Nat. :)
