Auto-updating calendar...cms or php? Options

[npessoa]

Hi, all:

Quick question: I'm searching for a way to automate the archiving of entries in a list-style calendar. Right now I'm using cutenews for whole articles and am displaying calendar information as text using a php include - but it's getting a little cumbersome to constantly delete old entries and move up new ones by hand.

Is there a way I can automate this? Either with a database, php, or do you think it would require some sort of conversion to a fancy CMS? I have looked into CMSs before because it seems so useful to have all the different module functions housed in one place, but I can't ever seem to get past the fact that they (Mambo, etc.) usually force you to use their templates, and I'd like to keep my original design... just automate some of the back-end stuff.

thanks for your help!
