If you would like, you may check out these related technologies that do
what you are talking about already:
www.mamboserver.com
www.xoops.com
Also, if you use templates, it makes it easy to just keep the relevant
parts of the page, and then display them inside of a predefined
template. That way, you can change the template whenever you want, and
all your pages will change. If you store the part of the HTML that
formats the text (color, style etc) in the DB, this isn't possible.
smarty.php.net
wasn't sure if you could use any of these, but, here's the info.
