Hello,
I am very new at PHP so I will try to explain my question the best I =
can. I was wondering if there was a way to have a link show only to the =
owner of the site? Like having a "Admin" link for editing posts, but =
hidden to all users except the owner. Thank you very much for your time!!

Easy way to do it is if you use a MySQL database to store it. Do
$username = (name of user);
$admin = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM usertable WHERE user='$username'" );
if( $admin->admin )
{
print "<a href='/adminarea'>ADMIN</a>"
}

$username --> variable to hold the name of the user.
$admin --> query to obtain the database row for that user
if() --> checks to see if the "admin status" column of the database is set
to true, if so it prints admin link.

You can start by creating a login system

Then you can do an if/then statement to show the link only to people who
have logged in...
