i don't know if this should be here, but i am going to try.
my site has quotes, and i am just about to put essays on it as well. and i wanted to make it a lot simplar for myself to manage all of the submissions and the like, but i want to respect internet connection speeds. how can i make it so that it doesn't take so long to download my page, when there are tons of quotes and possibly essays now?
i can write javascript, perl, and anything else i need i can figure out, i just want some input as to how i should go about doing this so that my site is easy to manage with lots of data , but also fast to dl for people with slow connections:)
thanks everyone

Let's see... I suppose you could create a PERL script that would interact with a MySQL database, and also allow you to manage/upload essays via the web.
You would probably want to have them organized by category, with a search function, and after the user clicks the category he/she would be taken to a list of essays in that category. The user then could click on the actual essay and have it displayed to him or her. I think that would be the best way to organize something like that.

my quotes js is what is slowing load time down so i think i will make everything on a "get" basis that way the user doesn't have to wait for material he or she does want loaded.
thanks brian
