Is there a way to make a webpage where I can list all of my movie collection? What I want to do is show them on the webpage by showing the picture of the DVD box. When I get new ones or insert new ones on the webpage is there a way to insert it so that they just drop into place and the last one in the row will drop to the next row?
Any help? Thanks.

I believe what you are looking for is some server-side code and a database. Alot of beginners use PHP and MySQL. You could also use ASP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, Perl... there's alot of options.
You need two pages; one is the public list of your DVDs that everyone can see, and a private page that has a form on it for you to add new DVDs.
My recommendation would be to use Amazon to get your images - just find your DVD and "Save Image As..." Your page should have a title input field and an image upload field. When you add a new DVD, the server-side code (lets say you are using PHP) will copy the image file to a central location, and store the date, the new title and the path of the image in the MySQL database.
On your public list page, when someone pulls up the page, the PHP will ask the MySQL database to return the list of DVDs ordered by date, and show them on the page.
The PHP Bible is a good book for beginners - it covers all about how to do this, including using MySQL, and both PHP and MySQL are free:
