Allowing Selected People To Edit a page?

[Aplayer_uk]

I'm trying to figure out the best way to build this site, and It's not poker related but figured this is probably still one of the best places to ask.

I need to make a page for each user and on each page I need a kind of shout box or headline news that only the user of that page can edit easily by loggin in, sending an email or text message.

Is anyone familiar with anything like this or know a simple yet effective way of doing it?

Thanks

Just to warn you, if your going to open a website that allows the viewers to place their own information onto the server, you have to be very careful about the way that you approach it.

Allowing users to place data into your database/server will give them the opportunity to place malicious coding or information into the page (code or not) opening up your site to increased attacks.

Just thought i would give you a heads up on that fact so that you know that if you were going to do that you would have to have the coding strip certain things out of the input.

I have been told a saying that will always stay with me.... Never trust user input into a site.

Can't Wordpress do this?

Rounders Radio is doing this. Also all Ning sites have this feature. Basically, you want to allow your members to have a blog page. VB obviously provides a forum plug-in and I would be surprised if Wordpress didn't have it covered.
