HTML Update News Page

Question

Hi,

I have a site which is basically a few HTML Pages. I no have a requirement to create a facility where a site admin can create and maintain a News section.

I am just pondering what my options are? It needs to be a fairly simple process to maintain news items and ideally not be database driven. Although I'm struggling to see how I can achieve this.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

CuteNews should do what you want. It uses a flat file to store the news items so you don't need a database.

Answer 2

Not sure I understood well, but if you mean you have news in static HTML pages and you want to update them, without doing it by hand, you would have to write a script that creates new ones or updates the existing ones, but that's all too complicated in my oppinion.

The way to go is Server-side language (PHP, ASP etc) and database (MySQL, PostgreSQL etc).
