How to let users create their own page in my web design?

Complicated question?


I'll explain. What i want is for users to be able to customize their own pages within my website. I am working on each having a username and password at the moment. Anyway what i want is that from a set of images they can select a background image or a style for their page and then they can add content like photos and text on their page.


Is there a code out there that i can just edit and use?

What you're really describing here is a content management system (CMS.)





The bad news is, these things usually require some knowledge of PHP and databases (usually MySQL) if you want to make it yourself.





The good news is you can often find one that does what you want with a lot less effort.





Look at http://www.opensourcecms.com/ to see a huge number of free CMS programs you can play around with.





Your hosting service may already have some installed or available for easy installation.





Installing a CMS usually requires some comfort with PHP and databases, but running it can usually be done completely through the browser with the included control panel.
