Hi all,

I've been asked to remake a website and the best way I've found for their needs is to use Wordpress - its got all the functionality already in that that they need.

The question is, that their current site ,they have a fair bit of data, such as PDF files from certain dates - that are associated with events on those days.

Now, if you start writing a post for each one, the dates will be wrong - they'll say the same date of when you put in all the past data and files.

Is there a way past this? Such as an archive system where you can just have a bunch of links with the date and title associated with the PDF file on an archived page or something. Or maybe a better way?

Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.

:)

Oh yeah, there it is :)

Turns out theres not a whole lot of PDF files, so probably could do them individually.

Just out of interest..if this was on a much larger scale, then is there an easy way to handle a few hundred?
