    Its as simple as signing up on my site, and hitting submit news. I can then put it on the front page, or whatever else is needed to be done. You can embed Youtube, Stage6 Divx, and Google Video files with a simple command. And of course, I can change your access permissions so I dont have to put it on the front page, and you can yourself ;) PtoP was designed to be a user-oriented site more then it is right now, so thats something Ill be looking to improve in the coming months.

    you can get a free web hosting account whit php and mysql. then install wordpress (a very common blog engine) and post your review :)

    OR subscribe at wordpress.com, you have the same result but you don't install anything

    Yup, using your own PHP blog software is the best solution - or use someone else's (like Borman's) if you so wish.

    I use b2evolution (because it did certain things I wanted better than anything else I tried), but there are lots out there.
