URL Submission/Organization for a website.

Hi:

I own a 500 person e-mail list for rockhounding/mineralogy, and I'm
rebuilding the support website to go along with it. I would like our
user base to be able to submit links for the website.

Before I reinvent the wheel, I figured I'd ask here; I'm looking for:

--A shareware/freeware ASP app.
--Allow users to enter in a URL and a description, and mark which
category(s) it should appear in, e.g. Other mailing lists, blog,
minerals, fossils, commercial website, etc.
--Password protected would be OK, but really isn't necessary. I
figured I'd just review the links and have a field only available to
me to make that link live. Otherwise, PW protection is fine.
--I'd prefer Access (though gosh, I haven't worked in Access for
several years) but I can use MySQL (which I've never used) or MSSQL
(which I'm really familiar with, but would have to pay a setup fee
for) with my hosting company.
--I'm good with vbscript, javascript, MSSQL, OK with Access (probably)
and know nothing about PHP or MySQL. :P

Anyone know of anything that might fit that bill, before I start from
scratch? (Sorry to be lazy, but there are lots of other features I
need to add to this puppy.)

Thanks,

Julie

http://sourceforge.net/projects/phplinks

PHPLinks is an open source project written in PHP for use with MySQL,
allowing one to run an extremely efficient Link Farm with full search
capabilities. A "simulated" search engine in many ways.

Thank you. I'll check it out. My initial problem with a PHP/MySQL
solution is that I would have absolutely no way to customize it, if
necessary, without learning PHP and/or MySQL. I'll need to decide if
it would be quicker to start from scratch with vbscript.

Thanks again,

Julie
