Library of articles - Post ID 200890
I anticipate doing a website for my church. We would like to be able to publish our weekly bulletin on the website and other articles from time to time. We would also like to be able to have these articles be in an accessible form such as a library for the entire year. These articles could then accessed at any time and printed out if so desired. How can this accomplished--I am told it can't be done in VSD. It sound like it will involve the use of a data base as the residence for each article and then a link provided that would access that date base. Need some help. Thank you in advance.
Hi Gary-
I do my church website and post the bulletin as a text only. (copy/paste) However it is easy to post previous pages such as your bulletin using a .pdf file and use a link on the site. As long as you leave the .pdf open to editing anyone should be able to open and print it. Copy/paste off VSD itself is possible, but tricky, because if you mouse over too much of the page the entire page highlights. In our site I have our pastors sermons posted back to 2004 in text and several years of our Parish Pastoral Council minutes done in .pdf. Check them out if you care.
These are our pastors sermons. Scroll to the bottom and see how they are linked. This entire archive is set up as a sub-domain of our site.

Then here is our council page with past minutes linked as .pdf files.

Good Luck!
