Re: Re: pulling content from db - is it a good idea?

Thanks, Brad!

I was referring to storing just the content (minus the html) in the database.

To reiterate your points: It's pretty the normal thing to do these days to store content in the database and have a perl script pull out the content and display it via HTML:Template.

Is that right?
