Need massive help with a database...

[tribmin]

Ok...might sound funny coming from a person that makes his money doing web design...My business partner usually does all of our database stuff and I do the front end design of things...but this is a personal site of mine and would like help elsewhere...if possible

i need help making a database for my site...I need a database that will let users create a membership and then have a place for a username/password login...

and a place where it would tell them on the site that they are logged in or not...if any of this makes sense...

if anyone here can help me with this..it would be much appreciated...this is the site im updating:
