I would suggest that before trying to set up a database driven site, you probably want to get familiar with how to work a MySQL database and interact with it through PHP. This tutorial is a very good start:
BioRUST.com :: Tutorials >> Basic mySQL Queries And PHP
If you want I can probably help out getting you set up with a database/article based site after this week.

Thanks you the comments about the sites. I just design and coded the Jaloobie.com site, all the content and logos were created by the owner, but I will pass the suggestion on about fixing the "your". It does look pretty bad.
WorkAholic is actually a work in progress. I just have it up as a small example until I can find more content to replace it. Currently it is only the Framework of features and only usable by the developers of it. I will definately fix all of the error messages though before it launches.

Anyway, if you post and image of what you want your site to change to I would happy to help. See you around.
