This time with a posting app. This program allows you to create templates in which you can update your news items. The nice thing about this one is that it will do auto archiving, allow for multiple site uploads, and a few other nifty things. Don't be alarmed by the large initial download size, those are just the required files. The actual app is only about 200k. url - http://cyberian.tripod.com ....................................
