PHPRunner General questions

I have a client who is a writer. I'm redesigning (and handcoding) her ancient FrontPage website. I'm new to databases so I bought PHP Runner hoping that I will be able to use it to set up a database of her 400-500 lengthy articles and display them within the custom site I've designed for her.
So I've just installed PHPRunner and am slowly figuring it out but as I get into it I'm not sure if it's going to do the job.
Can someone confirm whether or not PHPRunner can handle lengthy chunks of content with embedded links and such?

Yes, PHPRunner can do this.
Simple set "View as" type of the column that stores articles to "HTML" and it will be displayed as is.

But give the text field in the Table enough size!

Because you can type as much as you can but it will show just a part of it (experience haha)

Ok, good! I have the "content" field set up as MEDIUMTEXT in my table. Is this the best one to use for a large text area with html?
