Okay, I see; due to the web hosting limitations you have, you're looking for *client* side web authoring tools. > What I'd like would be some CRM-like tool that would manage the style > sheets, site map, etc, & let me simply drop in text on various pages. > I'd then just compile the site & upload the static pages. Strange thought: several Wiki and CMS packages [Content Management System] can do caching of pages to reduce load. I.E. they build static HTML files from the Wiki/CRM language. So you could install a web server and a Wiki on your LOCAL machine, have it build the HTML pages, and then upload them. > Seems, though, that everything is designed to be run off of active > servers (at minimum a web server on the authoring system), and most > often some big SQL server as well.

DokuWiki, PmWiki don't use SQL [though I know the latter can be made to do so if necessary]. With PhpWiki SQL is optional. Etc. TWiki is a cgi-bin script written in Perl, so I suppose it's even possible you might be able to run something like that on BestWeb directly if you want to try that. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [EMAIL PROTECTED]
