News Management -- Without Perl or PHP

[agiantdwarf]

I use Coranto Beta for my news updates (http://internetlibrary.vr9.com) because I need a system to archive and update my front page without doing it manually. Unfortunately, this limits the number of hosts I may use that are free (please no "get a paid host" comments here). I use vr9, but it isn't great. It's the best I can do.

Ok, the point of this thread is:
Is there any way I could manage my website like I do with Coranto Beta without Perl, iwth little effort?

Explain your methods here.

Thanks,

I doubt it really, another way that I can think of right now is if the host has a web editor. Really though something like Coranto is your best bet. Or you could have a news page as a forum, but if a host takes forum then they'll take coranto.

Just manually modify the file.

JavaScripts?

Try http://blogger.com or http://oxyshouse.com/oxynews/

I dont think its possible to manage news on your webpage without CGI. (as far as i know, vr9 supports Perl). Anyway, try to browse http://www.javascripts.com. Or goto web monkey. Good luck.:confused:

You may edit your file manualy. then upload it again (and again). if you dont use CGI. (vr9 doesn't support PHP). But go ahead, look for a script.

if it supports perl shouldn't cgi work? :confused:

It should do but you might have to change the file extensions from .cgi to .pl

then chmod it to 755. it should work.

To those that might be slightly interested, I'm making a C++ script that if you have an FTP account, you can manage your website with this program.
It'll be done in a month or two. Mind if I announce it here?

dunno if this is a solution, but you could use SSI and only edit the include to do updates?

[agiantdwarf]

I would, but most places don't even allow SSI.

I have a vr9 account, and I think I remember them having SSI or maybe they changed?
here's a FWS search (http://www.freewebspace.net/php/search.php?a=1&b=0&form_language=English&form_location=&form_upload%5B%5D=ftp&form_space=1&form_adType=&form_features%5B%5D=SSI&form_title=&form_hostType=REG&i=99&submit=Search) of hosts that support SSI if your interested.
