Auto Updating Content?

[miniajuer]

I don't know if this is possible without some kind of CMS... but I'd like to be able to have a certain section of a website rotate content daily, from a pre-made list of content.

The idea is a daily devotional, and I have about 24 months worth of material to work with... is there a way to do this, and have the content change automatically?

I don't know anything about ASP... I've only worked with html, css, and javascript.​

Without a database or learning any other languages, you could store the content in text files on the web server. Then use javascript to retrieve the text file (maybe based filename for the month) and parse it to show the right content depending on the day.

The alternative is to learn ASP, PHP, Rails or whatever else to do a simple CMS.

You can do the same thing in PHP, and presumably ASP/ASP.NET or Rails, with relatively little effort. You don't need to implement anything remotely approaching a full CMS.
