I,m doing some work for a friend and she was hoping she could have something like this:

She wants an area on her main page that she can update through a form or something. In other words she wants to log into a page. Write her article and submit it so it shows on the homepage. She does not want to have to FTP etc. I've been looking forms but haven't come up with anything yet? Anyone? Go easy on me, I'm a novice webmaster! Thanks!

Go easy on you, you must be joking, I'm going to make your life a living hell ;) . But seriously does your hosting company support database programs (e.g. MySQL). I'd imagine it would be easier if you could store the text in a database. I doubt you could do it through client-side scripting, you'd probably have to use a server-side language PHP or similar.

Hope this helps

You could use a news system allowing her to post articles easily if your host supports PHP. I would recommend cutenews (http://cutephp.com/cutenews/).
