Forget about users, just consider retrieving any dynamic content. You've got some arbitrary URL.
Wow, you need to take a look at your question and possibly clarify it a bit. There are many things in action here, first you talk about personal user spaces, this is very common practice, you need to look into routing requests ( for instance I'd look into rails for zombies tutorial to see how to do this in ROR). You also need to define what you are using to develop this: PHP, java, asp etc... your question is lacking a lot of details that make it impossible to answer correctly or usefully.
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.
