creating an online archive of emailed articles

[talyal]

Hello!

I have two websites for 2 sets of customers. We send out articles via email to each set every week.

How do i get those articles on each site as their own page without having to create pages for them all the time. At the same time providing like an archive of past articles on the pages? I guess its kind of like creating a magazine or an archive of our articles, where people can come back and view past emails with our articles?

Any ideas?

Replies much appreciated :)

One option is to create a single archive page, and put each each article on that page, probably in descending chronological order. Put some blank space and perhaps an "<hr>" between each story.

Then use in-page links to add on-page navigation at the top of the page - perhaps a unordered list with the headline of each article as the link, linked to the full article below using an in-page link.

Although it's probably a better idea to just have separate pages for each article.

what about using cms or rss to put the articles on the pages? I am not very familiar with either - is that possible?

Yeah, most CMS will do it AFAIK.
