Two column table in FP2000 - to be populated by email

[kansaskannan]

I am creating a web site (for work) in which I have a table with two
columns. Column One has (a link to) full text of an article or a
paper on a subject; Column Two has a brief summary of that article/
paper. Team members read the article, summarize it, and post article
and summary.

The readers of the articles/papers are not going to be familiar with
Front Page, and I am trying to minimize the 'administrative' time in
posting or publishing these articles and summaries.

Is it possible to do the posting by email, such that an email from the
person who reads the article can be posted to the two columns on the
web site? The full text will have to be a link; the summary can be a
link or the complete summary (about 5 lines).

Any suggestions to minimizing administrative time would be much
appreciated.

Thank you all.

The easiest way to do that would be to use a database and some type of
scripting language, such as ASP. You would set up "admin" pages that would
contain forms. When a person fills out the form with the articles and
summaries and clicks submit you would insert this into a database. Then, on
the page that displays them you would use code to retrieve the information
from the database making the whole site dynamic. See www.asp101.com for
some sample code

David - many thanks for your response. I was hoping to complete it
and let you know.. but it is taking way more time than I expected.
But I do appreciate your taking the trouble to write.
best.
