At this point, the site is great for managing content via the database. However, as far as I can see pretty much all the content needs to fit into templates, with the result that there appears to be little room for setting up a more free-form looking page that can incorporate graphics in a freer, more visual way.
Well, *ANY* system that generates a web page is going to have that problem. Yes, you *CAN* make it more "free form", but freedom carries responsibility
Yep. A quick-and-dirty solution would be to have some pages that are just Files with content type text/html. But then of course they're just static html and you are 100% responsible for the content of those pages. So you'd have to balance the maintenance cost against the work of creating a "smarter" solution.
A less quick and less dirty solution could be to create several templates (each with different layouts) and serve them up at random. Jonathan
