    Hi guys I was wondering if there was a way I could update my whole site by just updating one html file? I have a gaming website and want to be able update certain parts of the website everyday.

    Thanks

    You're not giving us much info
    what's the template your using, it will most likely have to be coded for whatever site you use it on ;)

    I have looked at Joomla and really don't like it. Is there no other way to do this?

    it seem's like you want a portal-styled front page that updates the newest additions right?
    create a php script for your index page that reads the directory of your files to check for newest.

    If you have 10 pages in your site, then you cannot update the content of all pages with one page.

    if you want you can use dreamweaver templates (dwt).

    with this you can create separate header, footer or editable regions and when you will update header file and footer file, they will get updated in all pages.

    You can also work with .net master page or can use the Dreamweaver templates (this will update each child page that you will have to deploy...)

    Building sites using clean php includes is a way of updating common parts of pages with one simple file upload. If you've not done it this way, you may find a few discrepancies in the code between pages.

    .net allows you to add some includes (header, left, footer...) directly in your page or master page too.

    Learn PHP, it's very easy. Then setup a templating system.
