HTML menu question - probably basic - maybe not.

[Dave Smithz]

Hi there,

I would like to use some easy automated system that makes it easy for me to
keep my website updated, but allows a left hand navigation system, that when
the title link is clicked on, sub headings underneath that sub heading
appear.

An example of this is the BBC news website. When you click on the business
link from the home page, a number of subheadings appear underneath the
business heading.

What is a good software application that makes this easy to administer? Is
that possible and is there any good open source out there that will do this.

Kind regards

Dave.

What you want is a Content Management System (CMS). On a CMS you can just
click an 'edit' link on any page to change the content, or a 'new' link to
add more pages (a simplification, but it really is easy!)

The two main open source ones are Drupal and Mambo. Mambo is easier to set
up but Drupal is much more powerful if you want to extend it with your own
software (I have much experience with both)

I'm working on a Drupal site at the moment. You might want to take a look:
