Okay, so I have a sweet layout done...and now I want a blog or something for updates and whatnot to go in the middle of that layout...so how the fuck do I do this? I don't want to get some blog and dress it up as my site, I want to be able to tell the blog to display shit in my site. Is this impossible?
If you know any PHP, you could easily modify a commenting system for use on your page -- i.e. the center column could be a page call in PHP (or an Iframe in HTML) linking to your news.php - which could have a simple script for recalling info from a MySQL DB... and a page (e.g. upload.php) that you only know the address to for submitting entries to the DB... Relatively simple, as I say, a commenting system could easily be adapted to do this - just separate the code for submitting a comment (upload) and for displaying (news). Or just find some premade blogging software and do something similar!
CutePHP is what i used. No database required, so its just drop and go. And its completely hackable, and will conform perfectly to your website. You can add users etc, menu's displaying the latest posts, how large each post is (pixel width and height) before it goes to another page etc Really good in my opinion. Ryan
Can you show me an example of something that uses it so I can see if it'll work? I don't know PHP at all...I can learn from fucking with it but I've just got a grasp on CSS. I know XHTML alright. I find this crap fun I guess, so I like doing it but it sucks when you don't have any basics, which is why I haven't dug into PHP yet.
I don't have mine on my server anymore.....the old OPPatriotics used it sparringly too. Here are some i know of: http://www.jaylachance.com/ http://www.ianjamescox.com/ http://www.nintencast.com/ Quite versatile...I haven't used it in over a year (stopped blogging) so i dunno bout any new features since then!
