Not sure why this blog is linking to a five-year-old comics-PHP-making program. I'm kind of interested in the program's stated ability to build PHP pages without a database, which would certainly make setup easier. But I'm wondering if you pay a price on the back end. I've contacted the people known to have used it and I'll let you know if I learn anything.
