back in the day, movable type could run without a sql server...... but why aren't you using a host that gives you sql databases???

Well. Unfortunately I am co-building a website with my friend and he bought hosting through Yahoo. And it is downright horrible for what he paid for it..

Can you run programs and write files on their server? If so, there are a number of serverless database libraries, like SQLite or BerkelyDB.

It's pretty sad that $8.99/yr web hosts which offer MySQL and PHP are 100x better than Yahoo web hosting.

Even free web hosting from DeviousTrap or myself would be 10x better than Yahoo.

RossMAN, I firmly believe that those who make bad hosting decisons (sp?) are just uninformed of better offers. Either that or their level of stupidity is off the scales

There is always LiveJournal...that is if you can somehow get access to a mysql database...

http://www.esheep.org/newspro/

NewsPro is a CGI/Perl script used to update a news page on a Web site. Some of its features include:

Easy install & configuration (done via the Web).
Supports multiple users and secure login via "cookies".
Easy to change the way your news looks, via a web-based configuration form.
News is written to a text file, instead of generated dynamically; safer and more secure
Ability to quickly remove or edit previously posted news. Optionally users can only have permission to remove/edit their own posts.
Auto-deletion of old news (optional)
Auto-archiving of old news (optional; either in a single file or monthly archives)
Built-in e-mail news list functionality.
Includes full online help.
Display a list of new or recently modified pages on your site along with your news.
Users can search through news.
Optionally show users only news posted since their last visit.
Possible to add your own news fields fairly easily.
Simple interface (with the same style and colours as this page).

wordpress - clean and simple blog engine. way better than movabletype

Pivot doesn't require database, it may eventually get plopped onto my page.
