Just for fun... and since I have a bit more free time...
I'm trying my hand at a easy to use content management
system in php.  You can search freshmeat.net if you
want to use one today... but almost all of them
require that you have MySQL setup.  I don't see the
need for the database to manage content... just
doesn't seem record oriented to me... so I'm working
on one that use a file centered database and the
php library provides functions to manipulate the
content into various forms for display.

I do recommend the server side approach, where some
kind of server side language (e.g. php, perl) is used
to create and manipulate content.  Just using HTML
templates is ok... but seems a little bit antiquated
nowadays (Chris says this realizing that the NTLUG site
is pretty antiquated).

Regards,
Chris
