How do I create an upload & automatic update?

Question

Here's what I'm doing.... I have a site for my family where they can e-mail pictures to me and then I put them on the family site. LOTS of work for me!!! Well.... I'd like for them to have their own user name & password... then they can log in, upload their pictures and the page will immediately and automatically make their photos viewable to visitors.

I've pretty much figured out how to get the upload part of this.... and am now trying to figure out how to make my webpage automatically update with the new pictures.

I've found some tutorials on the user/password part so am really only needing help with the auto update. Links to useful sites or info you have is much appreciated. OR tell me the scripts I should be searching for. And.... pretend I'm 5 when you explain this. :) THANKS A BUNCH!!!!

The easiest way to do this is to use a gallery application on your web server. There are a few of them out there. Here's a free one that has many options and will allow you to do exactly what you describe as your goal:
