My sons Tiger Cub pack is looking to create some kind of online calendar type thing, and guess who everyone looked at when they heard I was a programmer... :doh: So, what I need is a way to get this done with the minimum of fuss, minimum cost and as much future-proof functionality as you can shake a stick at. The most important feature is a calendar of events, but I'd also like some other things in there too, if possible:
- Calendar of Future Events (not a history of blog posts that looks like a calendar)
- Photo Gallery
- Blog posting (for the Den leaders, so they can write up a few paragraphs about events)
- User Comments, so the scouts can respond to the blog posts/photos.
- Free hosting or online presence (like Wordpress.com)
- Multiple users with different roles (editors, administrators etc)
- Free
Wordpress is out, as the only Event Calendar they have is a plugin and you can't run custom plugins on the free site and I really don't want to have to deal with hosting anything... I've heard that weebly[^] might work, but the only useful thing on the front page says, "Create a website & blog", which is slightly less than useless... Does anyone know of anything like this, or am I just asking for too much for free? Any ideas? Thanks.

drupal is what I use to run the VCF site and have been reasonably happy with it. It wasn't hard to set up and it has a boatload of extra modules that can be added so it would probably cover everything you need.

You can try Microsoft Office Live Small Business. You may not even have to pay anything for less than 5 users. It has all the features you described. It is meant for small business but you can use it for a club site. The other option is to use the Live Workspaces. Both in conjunction with each other you can get close.
You have, what I would term, a very formal turn of phrase not seen in these isles since the old King passed from this world to the next. martin_hughes on VDK

So you are not going to make it yourself? And you call yourself a programmer? Why don't you just let your kid do it? Programming does not consist of downloading free software and setting it up on a computer.
The Digital World. It is an amazing place in which we primitive humans interact. Our flesh made this synthetic machine. You see, we are so smart, we know a lot of stuff. We were grown from cells that came from the universe, which the matter and physics I'm typing in it is amazing how the universe is working. Human life is very amazing. How I experience this sh*t its like wow.

Did you make your website by yourself? It's quite unique.

I didn't program it and code up the HTML. I simply said that because you said they knew you are a programmer and they all looked at you when they wanted to have their website. Why look at a programmer when you could look at a teenager with some spare time if you are just need to download something or whatever? It does not take a rocket scientists to set up a bottle rocket in the backyard.
