Hi,

As an easy solution I would do it like this...


1.Using desktop opensource-gis (or ESRI ArcGIS if you have it), import from the 
excel sheet and export as shapefile making sure the Diameter is saved in a 
field.

2. Install geoserver on your webserver and upload the shp into a 
store(http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Download)

3. create an "attribute based poin " SLD which renders the size of the point 
according to it´s 
diameter(http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/styling/sld-cookbook/points.html)


4. use Openlayers.js to simply create a map and show the 
dataset.(http://openlayers.org/QuickTutorial/)



Hope this helps,

Robert Buckley
