How to add content to my website automatically?

    Hello,

    Dreamweaver newbie here. I got a website template off the web and designed it. I want to add articles to my website, and my only idea as to how to do this right now is to manually create a page in Dreamweaver for each article that I want to add, then upload it to my website.

    I'm guessing that there has to be an easier way (that doesn't involve me knowing programming language) to add articles to my website, without having to create a page in Dreamweaver each time.

    Any tips are much appreciated! Thanks!

    The easiest way would be to install wordpress. To customize it you will need some programming skills but there are TONS of free themes available!

    you could use a couple quick lines of php to help you include a file
    and its content randomly.

    then you just need to create a bunch of text files in a folder on your
    server, and a quick script that would open the file, read it and display
    it in the page.

    I know that seems a bit advanced if you are starting out, but it really
    is easy once you get your hands on an example.

    If you need some help - by all means send a pm - we can work something out.
