I have set up a system which needs many further refinements, done as an effort to provide a way to update the Website through some data updates. The Church Newsletter and weekly schedules are entered into a schema that organizes Site Page copy by section, the "This Sunday " link (which grabs a page full of copy I dump in from the email they send me) and grabs the entry by the date of the Sunday, and automatically empties it out of there after 1pm on that Sunday and displays a message "Click here for info on next Sunday") , Calendar (for which I'm still searching for an app that will accomodate entering of repeat events (weekly, monthly -- by such as First Monday or Third Thursday instead of by date, which alsmost never happens on monthly events----- quarterly, etc.), one time events, Holidays , etc. and where the entries are linked to their description and./or section in the Website.
This system is running under IIS5, and uses Access and ASP to fetch data.
I also have an ASP page that is set up to update some Radio generated pages for a mock-up Church Weblog, using the Radio Mail-to-Weblog feature. The ASP page takes a querystring value of "blog" for the Category to post the item to, and then provides a link to the page that will receive the post and will be viewable there within a 2 minute span --- the time it takes for the software to check the mail account for any messages with the subjct corresponding to the secret word. This way, the ASP code hides the "secret", and I can lock down the ability to post to any section by using a user ID.
