Re: [wdvltalk] DB question?
Riva You could give your client a text file (or series of text files) to edit and code the site to generate HTML from these files (if you're picky about typography you can do some character swapping out as you process the files to replace curly quotation marks and proper em and en dashes). Or supply a text entry form in a hidden area of their site for them to type new content into and store this info in a simple database using that for content. Or, I've never used it myself, but give Macromedia Contribute a whirl, although I have no idea if it's being continued now that Adobe have bought them out.

Re: [wdvltalk] DB question?
From: Portman Hi again, My client, the same one with the text problem, wants me to set up a part of his site so that he (or someone not knowledgeable about computers) could add to. My thinking is to have a text file that the page somehow reads and he can just edit the text file and upload it. Problem is, I am not sure I know how to do this. I guess I could write a program in Perl to read the appropriate part of the file (or separate files) and display it in a web page. Any ideas/comments/advice? Thanks, Riva Riva, Not that I know anything, but would a blog be a suitable vehicle for that? Wordpress might do it and there is provision for authorising contributors (and preventing non-authorised), as well as altering the design to work with the site.
