I have a site that will be loading about 150 separate pages of content, all about 500 chars in length - they’re just small writeups about events.

Originally, before I knew there was so many items, I was just loading the XML and creating some arrays (name, description). XML looks like this:

```auto

<xml>
<events>
<name id="Name">
<desc>
<h1>This event name</h1>
<p>yadda yadda </p><p>something else</p>... 
(500 characters or so worth.)
</desc>
</name>
<name id="another event">
...

```

Now I’m worried this isn’t the best method since the desc arrays will contain a ton of info. Any advice? I’d rather not create separate files for each event item, but maybe I could link to another document from inside each item node and somehow load that?? TIA.
