Hi all.

TY for taking the time to read this question.

A friend and I want to start a portal about widgets,
Basically we want to list everything we can about widgets.

We would like to ask/allow people to submitt articles about widgets and also setup a blog on the site so people can actively comment.

The design will be logical such as the top catagory will be widgets, sub cat is how are widgets made, what are they made of ect. We will also be breaking down the diffrent types of widgets and using the above design.

As you know it is important the search engines can spider the site easily and we will be adding content daily.

Any suggestion on a script out there we can use?

Thank you
Steve

Sounds like a good application for Drupal. It's a free open source CMS. It does all the things you mentioned, however, it can be a little confusing to get started with. Check out drupal.org.
