content_access

I am using Drupal's blog module to provide a lightweight electronic portfolio tool to students and teachers. I could use your feedback on the approach I've taken using content_access and hook_form_alter. Is this the best/safest way to do this? I still feel like a relative newbie to making these modifications.

For a fuller example of the reason for using blog as a portfolio, please see http://www.kassblog.com/item/1030

I added a checkbox field to the blog content type.

Only local images are allowed.

I've been given the task of re-doing a state school board association website entirely. Right now it's on Typo3, which has proven too difficult of a learning curve for those involved, and it's too difficult to make it "pretty." For a slew of other reasons, I'm trying to sell the switch to Drupal.

I'm 90% sure I want Drupal. Especially over Joomla because of SEO and the ability to control what different viewers can access.

I have different types of viewers:
*The average School Board Member
*Members who have paid to have access to Policy information

Yet another node access module..
