LoL well since my last post on the subject I have been dwelling on things... as usual. I forget the limit for the number of fields a table can have but I do know it was quite high. I don't think the space the empty fields would use up just sitting around would matter much so perhaps adding a total of 15 "news" fields? But then I was also going to add in (at some point) a way for admins to add what ever posts they wanted to the news section. Perhaps a total of 20? fields and once they are full the add-in posts would need to be selectively flushed to make room for new ones? Or perhaps allow for a choice to overwrite them.
LoL perhaps I'm dwelling to much. The way it is now keeps it simple and lessons the load on php to generate the layout with the data. It's already done and stored in bulk.
