I was thinking about adding a updated news section in my site but would like to find an efficient way to add in and remove posts... Is there a free "mini blog type" script on the internet that allows me to add in and remove posts? (in an admin section that's password protected). If yes, I'm assuming I need to be able to host PHP scripts, correct? Thanks
You can try CuteNews, it doesn't require a database and has an admin section. Another extremely lightweight news/blog engine is blosxom, it works off the filesystem so it doesn't require an admin section.
If you are still looking for a lightweight php solution then drop me a note - It might have something of interest for you.
