I have some experience with html and flash. I am laying out a website that is to have news and other events on it. Instead of always changing the code and re-uploading it, what would be the best approach to make this text dynamic? I know how to do it in flash, but this is a html website. I don't want to add flash unless I need to. I have read a few things about RSS feeds and converting those to html. Would this be a good approach? Maybe an ASP approach. I have never touched ASP but I am not affraid to learn either.
Thank you in advance.

I'm slowly coming around to using RSS for continually updated stuff like news. It's easy, flexible and there's a nifty program, which I can't think of at the moment that you can buy that will generate RSS feeds as well.
The only other easy way is to setup a database table and query using a server-side language.
