I'd like to add some boxes to story editor/ submisson page so that I can make a movie review site. I'd like to include drop-down boxes for ratings (1-10) of various elements of films (editing, music, etc.) How would I go about doing this? I'd also like to add an image for each movie which can be reviewed. Too complicated? Maybe for me - that's why I'm asking. Thanks!

This requires modifying at least two php files (story.php and submit.php), adding at least one additional table field to handle the extra data, plus modifying the templates which go with those webpages.

I don't think changing the story.php and submit.php would be too hard (would it?) - but it's the template I'm not too sure about - what kinds of things would I need to do?

You said you wanted to add a drop down menu. Wherever you want it to appear just go into the respective files and add it. You'll also need to add some code to calculate and insert votes into your database to save the info. If you don't know PHP and MySQL, I don't think you'll find this easy to do.
