if you went this route, you may even forgo the whole user editing the sites main navigation system and just add links to student works on their own profile pages....would keep newbies from messing up the works in regards to the main navigation system

Thanks Grant. As I was discussing this idea with another developer, I realized what I almost need is a WordPress type design with multiple blog pages to allow for archiving and updates. But I do like the idea of using links to profile pages... I was thinking that if you got 100s of submissions, a navigation menu to keep it updated would be impossible. The only thing that might make sense is a blog roll for each category, like Poetry, Non-Fiction, Photography, etc...
