ok - brief background. Our woodcarving club took part in the Fallen Feather Project - honoring Ohio Service Members that have fallen during Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn. To date there are 275 fallen soldiers. The founder of the project would like an electronic method of viewing the soldiers information (picture, bio and picture of associated feather).

I created static web pages using Coffecup VSD (Visual Site Designer). An initial page comes up describing the project. Clicking on a flag takes you to a page with names (as many as I can fit around sever flags flying at half staff). There is a button to goto next and so on. I have several of the names configured - meaning if you click on a name - it takes you to that individuals page with his picture, picture of the feather and his bio. Clicking on the feather will bring up another page - full screen with the feather.

This all works fine - but to do this for 275 individuals (with the need to update in the future should (God forbid) additional sodliers fall) seems like alot of work. Seems there should be an easier way.

I am not a web designer, just like to toy with the web -used Coffeecup to create a simple web site for our family tree/genealogy - but NOTHING like this would need to be.

A guy at work here mentioned dynamic html - understand the concept - database driven - but not sure how or if Coffeecup could do that.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks!

With VSD you will not be able to create a dynamic page. You might be able to do so using Web form builder, but not without a great deal of php-ing. The best thing may be if you use a ready-made Content management setup, such as Word Press, Joomla and others.

Thanks - kept me from spinning my wheels in VSD! Much appreciated!
