If you’re wanting the ability to comment on a simple site then I think WP would be a good fit.

There are a ton of themes to choose from and if none suits the bill out of the box they’re pretty easy to modify.

you can look throguh a bunch of themes at wordpress.themes.net

link to site?

also header.php code would help.

rephrased:

Download an image manipulation program… an easy one to use is irfanview
http://www.irfanview.com/
(or use MS Paint but it doesnt’ do a very good job)
install it on your computer.
once installed open up the image which is causing the problems, in this case it’s flickr.jpg
resize the image… currently it’s 750px wide. cut that down to maybe 400px
upload the new image to your site and use it instead of the one you’re currently using.

not only will it look better, but your site will load quicker because instead of having a 375k image you’ll have about a 40k image.

the only people who have access to the admin tabs are the people you give them to. when someone registers they’re given subscriber access which allows them to see the dashboard and their profile.

If you don’t want them to see that, then disable search around to find out how to disable the dashboard and have the login resolve to the homepage after logging in.

I wouldn’t mess around with disabling the dashboard. instead I’d place this

<?php
  global $user_ID, $user_identity;
  get_currentuserinfo();
  if (!$user_ID):
?>

    <form name="loginform" id="loginform" action="<?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php" method="post">
    <p>Login Name:<br /><input type="text" name="log" id="log" value="" size="20" tabindex="7" />
    Password:<br /> <input type="password" name="pwd" id="pwd" value="" size="20" tabindex="8" /><br />
    <input type="hidden" name="rememberme" value="forever" />
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="<?php _e('Login'); ?> &raquo;" tabindex="9" />
    <?php wp_register('', ''); ?>
    <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>"/></p>
    </form>
<?php
  else:
?>
<h4><?php echo "Logged in as: ".$user_identity; ?></h4>
    <ul>
    <?php wp_register(); ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('siteurl') . '/wp-login.php?action=logout&amp;redirect_to=' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>"><?php _e('Logout'); ?></a></li>
    </ul>
  <?php
  endif;
?>

in your sidebar in place of the deafault login callout.

without seeing your theme, i’ll go out on a limb and tell you to

open your header.php file
find the menu related items.
add in a link to the category or page.

advise you on what? you’ve answered your original question. Do you have a new question?
