I want a generic server side way of adding new content to a "news" page on a website. The web sites are static html (but server is capable of using .asp and running MS Access).
The idea is that a user will be able to go to a page, 'log in' and add a news story to their site. The format can be tightly structured to headline, content, and images. The headline and a brief extract (e.g 25 words or two lines) will appear on the main news page with a link to the full story. It would be great if the sort order can be custom grouped (even as hardcoded into the news page). The index of news stories will not need to appear in any navigation other than the initial news page (although deep linking to news stories should be possible).
The format of the text will be prescribed so that content will adher to a css file although it would be great to see some basic html text formating allowed in the main content. It should be assumed that users have little to no HTML knowledge.
Users should also be able to amend or delete exisiting stories.
## Deliverables
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).
## Platform
Server is Windows 2003 hosted by Fasthosts. "This website will be hosted on a server designed specifically for using scripts.
Include ASP, PHP, Perl, compiled CGI, ISAPI and SHTML scripting."
Preference is for ASP as I understand it [a little].
Remote content interface should work with IE 6.0+ and not require any client-side plugins, controls or software
