My answer is the same as yesterday. There isn't a magic extension that will
do this for you. You need to rethink the entire architecture of your web
site.

-Darrel

You're not really talking about an "extension" I don't think, but more like
another entire section to your site. You're not just wanting to control
display properties (ie, they control how what you publish looks) you're also
wanting to let them control content - which means a databased system that
records and stores, the collates that info when your user logs in.

1. Spec out what you want
2. Build a database to contain that information
3. Build pages to bring in the information from the database and lay your
site out with that.
