Automating posting of weekly documents

Sam Bryan

I'm using FrontPage for a local church's website. I'd like any suggestions
on how some of the updating of the site might be automated.

For example, there is a weekly sermon that is sent to me as a Word document.
I create a page for it and then update the "index" page that provides a
listing of sermons in chronological order, with headings for date, preacher,
title, scripture. See www.wpcdurham.org/sermons.htm.

Are there any tools for automating this? It would be great to have a program
that could take as input the Word file and the heading fields and web access
parameters and do the posting automatically. Aside from a canned package
that might do this, what kind of program language might be appropriate to do
this?

The sermons are just one of many docs that recur. There are minutes from
various committees, etc and I have another site that has almost daily
letters to the editor coming in that need posting and it is very time
consuming manually.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance. This is a great group. -- Sam
 
One of several methodologies...

The person doing the word processing would have to use Word 2003
and save documents as XML which would allow a custom program to
parse the XML into a database or a Content Management System
which would result in the content being accessible on the website
noting the context of 'content management' is a significant challenge
for everybody that is generating content and due to costs and
complexities there is not likely to be any low cost or free solution
available any time soon.

Only being part of any given solution I suggest you download
and evaluate Macromedia's Contribute product as it can be
used 'somewhat' with FrontPage webs and may be useful for
some of the tasks you are concerned with.
 
I should clarify that 'not likely to be any low cost or free solution
available any time soon' was misleading as there actually are low cost
and free open-source solutions but none I am aware of that interoperate
with Microsoft Word or FrontPage with regard to the work flow you
described.

Thanks. I will be looking into blog tools and wikis too to see if something
in those domains might be useful. -- Sam
 
The PHP developers have created several widely used
CMS applications. Don't ask me which though as I work with
HTML, JavaScript, ASP/VBScript and ASP.NET.

I've used Content Seed with Frontpage and it's pretty cool.
