I am helping a local sports club build a web site and the chair of the club will need to update an events page as new things occur.

The page is hosted on Apache and will be built using static HTML & CSS.

Does anybody have any sugestions on the best way for 1 user to update 1 page with out using a CMS or getting too technical.

Thanks

One option would be to use includes for the header and footer information, then teach the admin to use a freeware WYSIWYG editor to place the includes before and after their content. If it's a robust application, it could even handle the uploading as needed.

Or, you could build a backend form that they insert text into, then submit it -- saving it to a text file. Use that as an include on page that will need updating, and that would also work.

So long as it's Apache -- there should be a number of open source PHP scripts and examples available too. If you're willing to use PHP, it could become quite simple.

Maybe set up some blog software for them, or link to a free blog they can post to...
