HTML - Help Creating Blog-type Website

Hi,

I am designing a website for a client who wants a blog/news feed integrated into the homepage. Ideally she would be able to log in to a module (like Wordpress) and post news updates. I'm wondering what is the best way to go about building a website that accommodates a blog/news feed.

Should I use Wordpress to build the whole site? Or is that too limiting? Should I build the site in PHP and the integrate a wordpress blog onto the homepage? If so, can someone direct me to a tutorial that explains how to do this?

In general, how difficult is this to accomplish? I'm new to web design but am a quick learner.

Thanks!

Chloe

Can anyone tell me how to change the header and the look of my wordpress blog to match my site? I am just learning html. I know nothing of php, so I am not sure if I should tackle this or not. Thanks!

hi

i have a website running on wordpress and another website which is purely a static website

my question is, on the static website on a particular page for example blog.html is it possible to retrieve all the blog entries that have been made on the website running on wordpress to be displayed in blog.html page on the static website if not all categories atleast a specific category from the wordpress website

is this only possible if both websites are running on wordpress
if so what are the other solutions in this case of the static website

other than making the static website into wordpress is there a solution

please advice.

thanks

Hello!
I would like to intregrate my wordpress blog (http://heartless-ink.com/fwoosh/)
into this page (http://heartless-ink.com/v2/news.html)

How can I do this? I only want the entries and images to show, not the wordpress theme. Any tips?

Thanks!

I've had problems validating my site. I am getting this error multiple times:

document type does not allow element "span" here; missing one of "ins", "del", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "p", "div", "pre", "address", "fieldset" start-tag.

This also occurs for "br", "a", "input", and "hr". All of these tags are already in div tags. I've also tried to surround them in p tags, but I still got the same error. There are no other validation errors with my site.

Thanks.

hey guys. I need help again!

Well actually its a question

But before that question -
You see I play a game and in that game I want to make a list of things.
Here is my noob website - http://heroonline.synthasite.com/

The Question -I guess what I'm asking is how do I post a forum directly onto a page of mywebsite with separate moderator accounts?

I need forums that can be added to sites like myspace, and my website, that you post with a html code, and editable by multiply accounts?

On that forum I just want one thread where i can post names of people. And I want some other people to be able to post names on that one thread.

Kind of like the cbox I have on there but more like forums, and changeable by other people/accounts that i choose.




Hope you guys understand what I am trying to say here... I'm a noob and i tried my best to explain.

Hello All,

I am looking to create a website very similar to this http://www.loserstatus.com/ that is my friends site and I currently have this www.canapictures.com . I like how simple his layout is but it looks sooo much better than mine lol. He hired someone to build it so he has no idea how it was made. Does anyone know if there is a template or something I can use to make something similar, I mainly just want the scrolling box with pictures that are linked to videos like he has on the top of the page below the banner.

Hey everyone!

I don't know much about HTML so please be gentle in responding.

I'm setting up a form for online donations for the organization I work for and we're using Paypal to receive the donations. The problem is that I need to be able to let people designate their donations to specific projects and such but Paypal won't do that. I know that I can set up a form on our website that allows them to select the different projects, put in the amounts and then have a box at the bottom giving the total donation.

The problem I have is that whenever they fill out this form and move on to the Paypal payment page, they have to re-enter the total donation on the Paypal payment page. I want to eliminate this step, if possible. My question is this: Is there a way to have the total donation amount copied and pasted onto the Paypal payment page so they wouldn't have to re-enter it?

Thanks for your help in this matter!

This will be my first website, aside of simple projects from my school class.

A friend of mine has a website that is currently already up an running. He would like the site completely re-done, as he moved his company, has new offers, etc.

Is the best way to do it, to re-write/edit from scratch, or to use a free website builder? I have beginners html/css/Javascript writing knowledge, and have been searching online when I need help.

Let's say he already has a website called www.5star.com

If I use a free website builder, will I be able to transfer all that to his domain name he already has so it doesnt become something like www.freewebsite/hostme/5star.com ? He is getting the FTP info from the guy who originally made his site.

Thank you.

(I have been working it from scratch and have a lot done, but want it to look great, and not just a plain static site).

Hey there,

Say I want to create a website by myself, using my own HTML code. How would I do this?

I am pretty good with HTML, and know quite alot. But when it comes to finding somewhere to place all the code, it confuses the hell out of me lol.
So, a few questions.

- What programme is the best for writing your code into?

- Once I have saved the code in this programme, how do I upload it through the FTP? (like, where do I place it?)

- Is that it, or is there more to it?

Cheers guys,

Hi,

I'm looking to create a simple booking form on a html website. It needs to generate an email containing the details for the website owner, as well as show confirmation to the form user that it has posted successfully.

I'm trying to establish the best/easiest way of doing this? I have a fairly good grasp of html - but would this involve programming outside of html? Javascript perhaps?

If you could point me in a direction it would be much appreciated,

Thanks.

Hello I'm not sure if this is in the right section, but I'm trying to figure out how to make my website more easily maintainable.

EG On my site there is a bar on every page with my "latest updates", every time I want to add an update I have to add it to every page which is tiresome.
I was wondering if I can just have this bar point to a text file on every page so I can just update this one file and it will be displayed on all pages.

Hopefully this isn't too difficult, thanks.

Ive been asked to fix up an old webpage. The old web master is a bit senile and can not complete the page. I had created a php page but the server is so old that it doesnt support php. I want a page with a simple leftnav and I need to add a photogallery with thumbnails... anyone have any advice for me? Are there any good free templates out there that could do all this for me? Or maybe some good tools?

Thanks in advance

I want to build a website that when first entering the website asks for a user name and password. Then depending on which username they enter it goes to their page. On the page a want like a form that they can enter information to and save a text file or something on to the server that they can access at a later date and edit and save again. I want to be able to view this file. How can I do this? Thanks for the help
