I am making a website that will have articles submitted to it on a rather frequent basis by about 20 people or so, havn't got the final total of people yet, anyways what do you suggest for making something easy to edit, as in my editors can copy articles and paste them right into the website, but not edit other content. Thanks

ps using dreamweaver

I would recommend a Content Management System that runs from a database, and allows people to log in to submit articles. There are plenty of free ones out there.

That sounds interesting. Any examples?

Wordpress might be a good one. http://wordpress.org/

If you do not wish to go into CMS, another way would be to include the editable files into the page (Server Side Includes or php includes etc.), so it won't interfere with the layout. But make sure you have a sort of check in/out process in place, so that only one user can edit at one time.

Wordpress is a blogging platform, although there are companies such as Semiologic that have tweaked it to be more like a CMS. I was thinking of something more along the lines of Drupal or Joomla.
