I'm not really a code monkey, I'm a designer, but I got saddled with building our website and I'm trying to improve on the existing process without adding a database or having to learn a zillion new languages.

I can tag and export my InDesign file (with 100-ish stories) as an XML file. Can I take that file, with each story tagged with unique numbers, and use Spry in Dreamweaver to display one specific story?

My idea is to create a bunch of 'shell' .cfm files for each story (our whole site is done with CFM includes), and each of them would have a bit of Spry code for one story. Then hopefully each month when I update the site, I could take those shell files, duplicate them, then do a find/replace that changes the code from one XML file to the next.

Is this possible? Or is their a way to have Spry toggle through the stories in the XML file?

Any advice... please!
