Re: [PLUG] PLUG Website Maintenence

It adds to maintenance time, though, to maintain two separate
versions. And unless content and presentation are really totally
separated (e.g., a text-formatting and a graphic-formatting script,
both of which take their content from a database), one risks
accidentally having one page updated and the other version not.
I don't mean to whine, nothing there that we can't do. But it's more
work. Is it worth it? The text-only calendars and such we've been
using have been working quite well, imho.
