Dynamic Content in SharePoint
There are other ways to get dynamic content into your SharePoint site, but this one is designed for the less technical user -- or anyone who wants to create dynamic content fast. The web part is a free tool that enables you to offer dynamic, data-driven content on any SharePoint page. This includes data from SharePoint lists, SharePoint sites -- including cross-site content or any non-SharePoint content.
The web part uses NVelocity's unique template engine and a custom source editor. The best part is you don't have to know .NET or XSLT to use this web part. You also don't need SharePoint Designer.
Of course it does require you to develop an understanding of scripting using the NVelocity template language.
