Creating a video host system... somewhat

Aug 14, 2008 2:44PM PDT

Please have this open in another window/tab before reading: http://www.onlinemediaspace.com/videos

I am creating a section on my website for videos that i find on the internet and i want to share with other people. I have already started the section as shown above. I was wondering if using a CMS such as Joomla or Drupal to do something like i am trying to do in my website above. I have tried both joomla and drupal but the way they work is not what i want. i want the video section to be simple, kind of like this:

Video Section
Select a letter to view videos in that section, or click the complete list. You can also search for videos.

ABCD (goes on for the rest of the alphabet
Complete list

Search box goes here.

I do not want the blog format that joomla has on its frontpage, and i do not want that navigation menu on the left that drupal has. I would like a simple Admin Login button on the bottom of the page. Is there any way this could be made possible?

Wordpress? You can put each video in a post (take a way the dates so it won't look like a blog). People can easily search by tags etc and you can put (a) tag for all the a's and (b) tag for b's and just list all the a-z tags on top. You would have the lastet videos on the front page (no sidebar if you chose you don't want it) and you can just put search below and a-z tags above and then people can hit next/previous to see more videos. you don't want them ALL one one page otherwise loading would be too long.
