News letter Updates

[ehx6]

hi Guys,

need your help. I am developing a site using asp.net. want to add a page which contains a space for narratives, information, news updates.

I am not sure how to do it. I thouhgt of the following:
1. use word doc and save as html
2. create an aspx page with a panel, then write down all what I need inside the panel
3. Other option that I am not familiar with,

Your guidance is appreciated.

By the way, the information will not change by the user, It will chance once every month, so I guess, I d not need to connect to the database and pull the narratives or what do you think,
thanks

ehx6: Probably several ways you could approach this. If I had to create something in this neighborhood one of the first things I'd take a close look at, not expensive, is the Rich Text Editor which is ready to go w.r.t. saving html created page in a database. The company that makes this known as "Cyberakt" (don't have the link). Of course, all of this is based on the notion that you want the "text editing" to occur on the web.

Of course, there are others avenues you might try; and someone may drop by and give you a few ideas besides this (many avoid these 3d party programs because of costs but I think for $100 or so, it can be well worth it).

There are free ones out there, such as:

..a simple search will turn them up. Also carry out a search here at Tek-Tips, this has been discussed a few times and you might find the threads.
