News Posting.

[overclocker23]

Hey,
On my website (www.cooltechzone.com) you can see that I post news regularly. I have dreamweaver and every time I have to update the news I have to go to dreamweaver and delete the old one and post the new one. I am surely not running a database driven website. My host supports MySQL as well as PHP since it has linux OS. I was wondering if there a program that I can use that will allow me to type the news in the program and then upload it to my index.html page after all the reviews as well as on the right panel. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

There's this neat thing, you may have heard of it, called a Server Side Include. It inserts the contents of the specified text file into your HTML page before sending the page to the browser, sounds like just the ticket.

If you want to do it the right way you can build a tiny app which can write to a text file. It's really easy and instructions, codes and tutorials are very easy to find from almost every php -related site.

Even if you harness MySQL in the pack, it still remains easy.

Do at least a tool for updating a textfile, which you can then include in your front page or where ever.

I'm a total noob in programming and even I can do that, so it can't be hard:)

Have fun with it!
