Asking advice on viewer controlled news feed

Hello, folks. On my site, I have a Site Updates section, where I let the viewer know what I have added to the site recently. What I’d like to be able to do, is let the viewer go back and see previous Update entries – sort of like an archive. I originally thought of a simple scroll bar, but I decided I would much rather have a “previous” button (almost like a blog entry) the viewer can click inside this section to see previous updates.

So, I’m looking for advice on what anyone here thinks I should use. Obviously I don’t want to refresh the whole page every time, so I know I’m using a script, but I’m not sure which scripting route to pursue. I have a basic understanding of php and javascript, but I’m willing to research others. I know I can update the information dynamically even with simple php and a txt file, but the issue I’m stumped on, is the ability to have a link that will go back and forth between the entries.

Thank you very much…I’ll appreciate any help or ideas.
