Which method is best for storing articles/daily updates?

robert.dondo

I have a site on which i want to add content on a daily basis (links
and the articles). How do I layout the site?
I could use a database but : will users be able to search the content
using, say, google?

I need help on this before i start coding the site. (what do newspaper
sites do?)

Get a copy of thinkjot or dasblog - any blogging software really as they are
all equiped to do this and it makes no sense to reinvent the wheel.
Alternatively, take a look at the beerhouse CM starter kit at www.asp.net

Your question is a very complex one.
Virtually every web site ever created has to do things similar to this, and
they are nearly all unique in design.
Essentially you are asking us how to create a web site. There are as many
answer to that as there are sites on the web.
There have been many content management systems out there for years and I
think it's telling that none of them have emerged as dominant. The reason
is that one size does not fit all. Every web site's needs are a little bit
different.

As for enabling search on your web site without much hassle, you might take
a look at this:

Using this technique it doesn't matter how you store your content.

And you might find this article to be informative as well:

Reading from a blob or a file which is better?

I have over 5000 thumbnail pictures of size 5kb each. I would like to able to load all 5000 pictures and view 50 per page using mysql_data_seek().

How to determine which of the generic decimal datatypes to use.

by: John Bentley | last post by:

John Bentley: INTRO The phrase "decimal number" within a programming context is ambiguous. It could refer to the decimal datatype or the related but separate concept of a generic decimal number. "Decimal Number" sometimes serves to distinguish Base 10 numbers, eg "15", from Base 2 numbers, Eg "1111". At other times "Decimal Number" serves to differentiate a number from an integer. For the rest of this post I shall only use either...
