No, but we'll help you to get it working.

Start by designing the front page exactly how you want it (don't worry about the CMS until you're done the design). When you have that ready, post an url to the page and we'll help you get going in the right direction.

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave,
The home page is now at http://www.bcca.info/

We will post news items to various tournament cateegories and are looking for a way to have the summary display onto the front page.

Cheers,
Mickey

Ok, do all your pages have the same format?

What if you had a section called "Articles" with these fields: date, title, category, summary, content.

And you set the category field to be a pulldown of all your sections.

Then you could have a "list viewer" on the front page the listed the latest - say 5 - articles from all the categories. Then for all your other category pages you could add a list viewer that only displayed articles from that category.

Would that work for you?
