Your site address?
What type of the board do you have?www.phoenixartsdg.co.uk

Board?

I do it all through freewebs if that helps?

What programming languages can I use?

Premium service customers can use CGI/Perl. However, this type of programming is not available for free account holders, nor do we support the use of MySQL, MSACCESS or PHP. You can, however, link to remote scripts from your website.

Your editing POWERS are pretty limited then.
