Well Karen,
Join me because I am attempting the same thing, only
mine is for my own site.
http://www.mysql.com   and start reading the manuals.
These are my MySQL links I have collected so far that I felt were
relevant:
http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/MySQL/Intro/page2.html

http://mysql.com/documentation/manual.php?section=Loading_tables&action=prev
ious

http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/DB_Basics/
http://www.mysqldeveloper.com/


I also found out from several that the best form method might be PHP
so I am also trying to learn that.
Useful Links (all that I have right now)
