I remember St.

BTW, why not simply a free blog?  Something like tc-rtc.blogspot.com or 
tc-rtc.wordpress.com?  Administration hurdle is minimal and can be 
shared between a few select accounts.  Image posting and polls are among 
the features, plus comment system builtin, etc.

With so many cheap free solutions out there for creating and sharing 
content, I don't see the reason for bothering with a "home page".
