publishing more than one copy of an article	Can't Post

We are rebuilding our site (zowiewowie.com), and I want to set up both a high-end, graphically-based version and a text version of the site, which of course means that when we publish an article we'd need two version - one graphically based and one text based.

Is there any way to do this in article manager? I know enough coding to make that sort of change if I know where to make it. What I was thinking is that I might also be able to use the templates somehow to do this, but I really don't know where to begin.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

When creating an article with Article Manager it will publish both a regular article (graphically-based) and a printer friendly article (text based). You can set the program up in such a way that the printer friendly article won't display any images.

It's also possible to create a text only index page that includes summaries and links to each article. These summaries could link directly to the printer friendly pages. One of the drawbacks of doing this is that this would require you to make use of your headlines file, meaning you would no longer be able to output the latest headlines on the graphically-based index page.

(In the screenshot provided below, the headlines are the links on the far right of the index page. These are links to the latest articles for each category.
