I have a static website that I would like to add a few features to and am not sure of the best way to do it. I would like a div that I am going to add to the home page of the site to contain info from a database that I need to create consisting of quotes that will change to a new quote each day and reflect the home page's new content when crawled by search engines. I also would like to give users the ability to receive this quote of the day by email by signing up for it. What is the best way to add this feature to an existing XHTML page? Do I have to make the entire site PHP or ColdFusion or can I simply add these features. Thank you so much for your suggestions.
Simply make your script in a PHP file, then rename your homepage (or whichever page to include part of script) into ending with .php and then simply include it.
