Well, it was working perfectly for me until my Win2000 server died 
irreparably.  I'm in the middle of transferring the system from 
Win200/IIS/ASP/MS_Access to Linux/Apache/PHP/PostgreSQL.

Very similar to an admin page with password protection.  Obviously fully db 
is easier to manage, but for small sites XML datastores are sufficient with 
or without a database for file management.

It's not as difficult as it sounds.

Also, keep in mind that this processing can occur on a separate machine 
with the finished "HTML output" uploaded to an external server which only 
offers static pages and FTP access.
