Hi,

I've been renewing information in my site directly into code for quite some time now. Since my page isn't that big it's not very difficult.

I have about 15 .html pages in my web directory. They all are more or less identical, and they all have small news section. At the moment I'm just copying those news from one page to another. What I wanted to know is there a way I can Change news section in all of those pages at once?

Thanks!

could you build your sites template into a simple cms such as wordpress? then you could let the cms handle it al and leave you with more time to write news/ do something else

Really, you need to use some sort of content management system.

For that you are best using server-side-scripting technology (perhaps using a database as well, although for a small site, flat-file would do fine)
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

If I have a server to play around with, is there something I must install to use server-side-scripting. I'm not that familiar with servers yet.

Speak to your web host and they can add PHP (one such server-side scripting technology) support and/or a database engine to your package for an increased monthly rate.
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

I recently did a site which had a news section and to be honest all i did was create a text file and use 
<?php include('news-file.txt');?>
into the pages i wanted to display the news.

For styling purposes you could create a HTML page and change the news-file.txt to news-file.html.

Probably not the best way of doing things but you only update one file upload it and bobs your uncle!!

Hope it helps!

Its pretty easy to do. Google will help you with that sort of stuff.
