Should i be here?!

not sure if this is the correct forum to be in but…

i want to create a photo gallery with an upload form so visitors can upload their pics…very similar to photobucket but on a MUCH smaller scale…( it’s a project for my family so we’re talking 20 people, max )

I am a designer and lack server side knowledge needed to do this but i want to learn.

Anyone know of any good tutorials and source files i can use?

Thank you,
Andre
