[squid-users] [Newbie] Easy way to expressly limit destination URLs?

[Sorry if this is a rehash... Didn't find an answer in the FAQ]
Problem: I want to limit by children's web-surfing to only sites that I have pre-screened (i.e. PBSkids.org, Disney.org). All others should be blocked.

I've run Linux systems long enough (>6 years) to know that the learning curve is steep for stuff as complex as Squid, so I want to ensure that it'll work before I invest the hours...

Can I easily set up a Squid proxy for my girls' computer so that, only for that one machine, only URLs that I've explicitly added to an ACL will work? Is there an easy way to manage that ACL? (i.e. my wife needs to be able to use a GUI to add a web site.)

[If you could respond to me personally as well as the mailing list, I'd appreciate it.]
Thanks very much in advance....
