Ok, I need to know if this script exists.

I've been having problems with SSI and so though up this script. I have on the right hand side of each page a list of recent articles. I don't want to go through every page updating the right side every time I add a neew article so i wan to know if this script is available for FREE.

I add a small table in exchange of the list of articles on each page. I then, whenever I write a new article, add it to the cgi script or admin interface or whatever and it will be added to the right hand side in that table. I have seen this done before buut under different circumstances. EG, a news site placing a box on webmasters sites and it getting updated automatically when a new news story comes out

Can someone please help me. i'm getting desperate!!

Sure it could be done, but why? To call a CGI script on your web page you’d have to use SSI. So you might as well just use a SSI file include tag. You can also achieve the same results in ASP or PHP if SSI doesn’t work on your server for some reason.

You can also use the template feature in some visual HTML editors to update a certain area throughout the site. But you’d have to upload the entire site every time you updated the news section.

SSI is really the solutions..

Good luck!
