Need Advice on how to setup My Site

[rdrobinson]

Hi,
I run a small mobile DJ service and created a web site so people can get basic information about us. I am trying to expand the page by allowing my co-DJ to update pages from his computer and allowing me to update it any where.

My first thought was to set up a Database, and store the text for every page on the data base. However, I don't know if this is the most efficient way to implement this.

I am looking for oppinions on the best way to implement this sort of administrator update on my site.

The most simple method is create a web site in proper HTML, with all of the presentation separated in some external CSS file. Then you all take the 20 minutes it takes to learn enough HTML to update the site.

The whole point if HTML is that it is really, really easy.

Using this method is there a way to update the pages through the browser? I don't know if your at all familiar with myspace.com, but if you are I am looking to design a page like the one that allows you to update each catigory of your page. Only for my page I would like it to update each page. I guess my question is, do these sites have a SQL database that stores all the page info or is it something else.

Sorry if these are newbie questions. I still have alot to learn about this stuff.

Seems like you need some sort of CMS (content management system). This will allow you to have users and it will allow you to update content. www.hotscripts.com might have some you can use.
