Hi, I am making a website that has useful links on it, so people can set it as their homepage (I'm using ASP.NET for this). Here it is:

http://www.epiclinks.com

What I would like to do is allow people to customize their own webpage (It will be in that format) with the links that they want. I do not want any kind of login for this either, I think that would make it much more appealing. Pretty much, I want people to choose 12 different websites as links (So there might be 12 different drop down boxes or something... I don't know at this point). Then they click a button and it would create a new webpage so they can set it as their homepage or add to favorites or whatever. So this would create a new html file on my server and people would be able to go to it. (ex. www.epiclinks.com/JohnDoe)

The method I'm trying to use for this is to make a catalog with an XML document of a bunch of different websites, and bind the catalog to several different drop down boxes. I've got that working just fine, my problem is how
do I generate the new html page on the server and put the data from my dropdown boxes into the new webpage?

Thanks.

Sorry, i dont know the answer :(, im not familiar with ASP, i could do it with PHP, but obviously thats not a lot of use.

What i was wondering though, if i wanted my to have a box like the one for google, with a search bar, but for a particular website, such as: http://technorati.com/ ?, would i have to wait for you to include that feature, or could i do something like this: http://technorati.com/search?return=posts&q=[THE_QUERY_STRING]

Then your site converts that: [THE_QUERY_STRING], into the actual content of the search field?, catch my drift?
