    I build my websites with Dreamweaver 8.Now I want to do something and I don't know if this is posibile, and how to do it.

    For example I made a page with 5 articles.Now because my articles also have pictures into I think that 5 articles per page is enough, and to make page two to not make my website load easyer.Now I want to know how I can make something like wordpress ( Previous Entries 1,2,3,4 ... ) ? Can this be done with Dreamweaver ?

    Thanks.

    there are PHP, ASP, etc tools in dreamweaver.

    personally I think it'd be a lot easier to make your layout and plug it into an existing blog software platform / content management system.

    Wordpress is more for blogs. If you're going for a large website, I'd recommend mambo/joomla, or a custom CMS.

    If your just going to be adding a few more articles, would it just be easier to write at the bottom

    1 2 3 4 and link them to articles1.htm articles2.htm articles3.htm articles4.htm articles5.htm, respectively? Then at the bottom just unlink the current page and maybe add a < that will take you to the numerically lower page, and a > that will take you to the numerically higher page? Seems like a lot of work converting your site to a CMS just to have pagenation on a couple pages you hand edit anyways.


    another good site for comparing open source software is www.opensourcecms.com. They have most popular CMS's and some you've probably never heard of, a long with live demos of admin and end user.

    I just found this free comments script - it looks nice and easy to set up if you have php and mysql.

    Probably a lot quicker to set up than starting from scratch with joomla :)


    Update

    This one looks interesting too and fairly straightforward to set-up. I'm just going to experiment with it

    Wordpress is good for smaller sites - the manage pages facility can take care of any non blog content quite admirably
