can someone guide me through the process of setting up a facility to allow my work colleagues update our website via their emails (they are scared of anything more technical!). I have developed our website (HTML), there's no database involved so it's not that dynamic, it sits on our hospital trusts intranet but will be available to the public at some point!

We want to be able to add service users comments easily every few weeks!!

Thanks...Carl

Bad idea. Very, bad idea. There is absolutely no way that you could be sure where the e-mails are coming from.

Either way, you will need more than HTML, if they are not to manually edit the file.

What I do, is create a form, that they submit posts/articles/comments through, and then I verify them before they are "live". Not that hard to achieve, but you will need a server side language, and preferably with database support.
