Pull out title and date from a directory and convert to html

[Matthew]

Hello,

My site has a bunch of new stories, separated by month. For example, I have
folders for January 2008, February 2008, March 2008, etc.

I also have a web page for each month that lists each story's title,
organized by date published.
So, January 2008 page is something like:

Jan. 30, 2008 -- TITLE 1 (which is linked to the story)
Jan. 29, 2008 -- TITLE 2 (which is linked)
Jan. 26, 2008 -- TITLE 3
Jan. 22, 2008 -- TITLE 4

and so on.

Each of the stories' web pages have their title input using <title> tags.
The dates published aren't in tags, however they are all formatted like this:
<font face="Arial" size="1">Posted: January 30, 2008</font>

I'm looking for a way to make it easier to update the pages that I have that
list every single story. My server cannot be set to run any scripts -- not
PHP and not ASP. That's due to Navy regulations or something... (I'm in the
U.S. Navy).

What I would like is some sort of macro that I could build so that I could
open up the page that lists January 2008 stories, run the macro, and it would
automatically go into the January 2008 folder, and based on a template list
each story with the date published, title and a link to the story.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much.

By the way, I'm using FP 2003. I've experimented using the FP Table of
Contents based on category. The reason I can't use it is because that feature
only includes the date last saved, and that isn't congruent with the "date
published."
