[Radiant] Is Radiant right for me?

[James Hargreaves]

Hi everyone!

I am asking the same question - is Radiant right for me? Obviously the 
CMS capabilities are great, but I need to be able to serve some dynamic 
content too - for instance - I have a load of jobs I need to list and 
they need to be shown on a page as required:

http://www.mydomain.com/jobs - all jobs

http://www.mydomain.com/jobs/my-job-category - all jobs for the chosen 
category

http://www.mydomain.com/job/my-job - the job matching the selected id

Obviously I can add an extension for storing the jobs info and I can 
create a jobs page to show ALL jobs. But how do I make it so I can have 
a dynamic directory under the 'jobs' page. I note this has been done on 
two of the links Sean provides (http://www.thegroggysquirrel.com and 
http://diopa.org). Well, I assume it has, either that or someone is 
doing a lot of admin work keeping everything up-to-date.

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks
Jay
