well, i'd like to be able to make my site automated.. Looking to make templates so that i can select banners for advertisers, and then just be able to update the template where the banner is located and what links it has, and whether there is more than one banner or not.
Also, for updating the index page, i'd like there to be a template. Then, for the rest of the pages, i'd like there to be a standard template for submitting news, and one for editorials.. then when each is submitted, they will be added to the database and update the entire site, including the index template.
Also would need a way for people to log in so that they can get to the templates online and submit their news/editorials *only* if they have permissions to do so. dont want outside sources submitting news 😛
I dont know much about programming (basic, fortran, pascal, vb, java), but what i do know tells me that its going to require either SSI, or php. I'm also wondering how hard this would be to setup, and if there's any online sources that provide the info required to learn this, or free source code.
Being a poor college student, i cant really afford to hire an elite programming god, but after having to hand code over 200 website pages, its really kinda important that i make it more automated.
Thanks,
Spurst
