newbie?= what is the terminology for this...
Let me describe this thing and then can you tell me the word for it, so I can look it up and see if I am able to do it? Thanks.
I want to build an information site for our school group.
There's going to be nuggets of info added regularly, just three or four sentences, but these little paragraphs will appear multiple times on the site, as they sometimes belong in two different categories. ie, 'John's Events' and 'Junior Officers'.
So I want to put all the info into a single file, like maybe an excel spreadsheet, and then for each category page, I can just indicate which cell on the spreadsheet to display on that page. This would be better than writing a new category page every day, and copying and pasting the same paragraph nuggets over and over.
What is this called? Thanks!

It can be called many things depending on how you are going to add the content. You could use SSI (Server Side Includes) using ASP or shtml, etc. You could also connect to a database, and so on. You should look into several options to see what would work best for you. PHP would probably work well (But I don't use it because I have an NT server, so it's asp and aspx for me. Try searching for "Server Side Includes" and go from there.
