    Quick question… I’m an EE 1.x user but I was wondering if it was possible for a person to easily update an entire page instead of having to only update weblogs.

    Not sure how to answer.  One weblog entry (channel entry in EE2) could hold the entire content for a page.  Or not.  EE doesn’t really think about your content in terms of pages - its all in how the developer put the site together.

    well I was just thinking was there another way that I never knew of that a client could update a page similar to MojoMotor where you can update a page without having to go back and search through tons of weblog entries to find the weblog to update your page.  It doesn’t seem like there is. That’s okay though.  Thought I’d ask.  Thanks.

    There’s an EE1 add-on you can install called edit this that adds an edit icon to the front-end when you’re logged in, allowing for browsing to content and editing from there - it still goes into the control panel, but you get routed directly to the right entry from the front end - so if your entry holds the entire page, that would do it.
