newbie: need advise on building news/headline orientated page

[benny-too]

I've been building static sites for ages and have some experience building ASP & DB driven sites.

I'd now like to build a simple news page with recent headlines and topics of my choosing, similar to many site e.g www.theregiter.co.uk.

I can't imagine that every time they add a headline they update the whole page.

So in short i'd like to know what the most common / efficient technologies are i can use to build a headline / news page where i can (for example) fill in a form that updates the topheadline and story ect on the main page. Any links to tutorials / guids etc would be great.

Thanks for any help!

The very basics of it is that one of the things you will do is create a table for all of your articles. The minimum fields I would think about using would be, date, headline, author, article content, category, and date updated. Build your interface to add, update, and delete any of the articles and then pretty much figure out how you want the home page to look like, and how you want the page that the article is on to look like. You might want to have a page for categories, and one for authors unless there is only one author. If you have already built ASP/DB driven sites, this shouldn't be hard to do.
