I need to know how to allow users to upload info to my website and is automatically published?

You need to use a Database, such as SQL or other.

If you create your website using Joomla content management system, then what you request can easily be done.

You need to enable user sign up module in the system.

They just need to sign up as an author with you, then they will have access to publish the articles inside your website.

Thank you I just needed a bit of guidance. I can now research on mysql and understand what I need to do. Thanks again.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
