    Hi,

    Im making my web page on Dream Weaver, basically i will be using the same
    page as a template, and i will have hundreds of pages.

    So i was wondering, how do i go about preparing the layout for advertisement
    banners? Should i use a Server side include? I know very little about PHP scripting...

    Oh, if it matters, the site will be Pay per impression, adds from addbrite. I haven't
    made an account yet, because i haven't purchased a domain name or a host, and i don't think i can make an account with them, until i get some hits on the site?:confused:
    I just want to set my layout up so i dont have to add code to hundreds of pages...

    I guess that's what PHP was meant for. you can use the include() function, for instance. All docuentation may be found here:

    but I do advise you: you need to know a bit about php or hire someone that do before you start building houndreds of web pages.

    If there is a good tutorial out there, thats descriptive, i think i could
    be able to do it myself.

    You should read it from database so that later you can change it easily .. My recommendation

    If you will stop using the dreamweaver and learn a CMS like wordpress
    or Joomla you will be doing yourself a favor.


    Then you will have a database to work from with powerful and
    dynamic tools. If you will use the joomla CMS, you will also
    have a valid xhtml site viewable by the better mobile
    browsers. The world and the internet is going mobile.

    Putting in a banner, even multiple banners is a breeze with
    Joomla.

    Just go to the joomla.com site and check for yourself. Do you have a webhosting account somewhere?

    No hosting yet. Because my site would take up some time to make, i don't want
    to waste months on hosting, that i will not use.

    At the moment, I've just been using Free Hosting, on "byethost", to
    make sure everything is functional.

    I estimate it is about as hard to learn joomla as it is to
    learn excel. Believe me, you can do it. :)
