best way to share content...

| Hi
Since it's news type and marketing messages, you probably
want your authors to update the content. Otherwise, you
could take it out of the CMS.
The CMS way would be to create a service posting in a
channel - this would be your central storage area. Then
use the Publishing API to retrieve these values within
each posting that needs to display it.
Believe Stefan has a placeholder control that does this.
You may want to check that out.

| Hi Trevor,
I assume you are talking about this control:
http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/...b9-8b395b722f24
This will work if always the same text needs to be replaced.
For images I would suggest to use resource gallery items.
Then only the resource needs to be replaced using webauthor and the change
will apply to all postings.
For the styles: don't you use stylesheets?
then you could replace the style by modifying the stylesheet.
If none of this can be used you would have to write a tool that enumerates
all postings and does the replace.
Cheers,
Stefan.
