Oh, well, if it's all done, minus it's appernace, then that's fine, it's all done, just hire a designer and there you go.
Can I see it?

OK, what database system are you using, and how are you connecting to it?

MySQL
I'm only really doing anything through dreamhost and one click installs and the page edited stuff included with them.

Cool, make sure when you turn it into a comercial venture that the data is easerly portable or it'll cost you a fortune in the long run.
I still think Wordpress is the best option for you, they're fantastic bases for review sites.

thank you very very much for that, best themes I've seen for what I want.
I think I must've done about 20-30 google searches and found 50-60 websites listing themes but nothing even close to what I wanted.

No probs =)
The advantage of Wordpress is that there are so many people who work on it, like, bigger than any other code project (and deffo website code project) I can think of... that people have adapted it to do more or less anything. Pretty much anything you can think of is already done on it, if you want people to use facebook to leave comments, twitter to get updated when you post....etc. pretty much _anything_ that's possible, is already done for little or no money.

cool, yeah there are definately big advantages to using "blog" type websites I know that.
just dislike the look.
I'm going to have a serious play around when I get home, quickly type up some "placeholder" text and images etc and see how I get on.
