Tip for everyone: you can put any HTML inside a database field. This can sometimes help you overcome the the monotonous look of some database-driven sites that just look like long lists of tables with no variety.In most cases, I still recommend that you store as little as possible in the database, and use templates to wrap HTML around your data fields. That way you can change the look of your site quickly by making just one change to a template, rather than tweaking thousands of data records.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
