This looks promising. Just written a very basic version of what I want so I'll have a bit more of a play.

I have a version of Drupal (I use the Acquia all-in-one package at <a href="http://network.acquia.com/downloads)" rel="nofollow">http://network.acquia.com/downloads)</a> and it allows me to work on my Macbook just as though I was at work. We also have some Drupal websites on our private network at work.

But yes, don't re-invent the wheel, it'll be rubbish. nickjb on "HTML help" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/html-help-1#post-2479040 Fri, 15 Apr 2011 09:14:53 +0000 nickjb 2479040@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <blockquote>wordpress joomla drupal</blockquote> Will these work locally served without an internet connection? allthegear on "HTML help" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/html-help-1#post-2477583 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 18:19:29 +0000 allthegear 2477583@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Yes, you would need both php and mysql. It I'd worth it though and virtually every hosting company out there will supply those anyway. You're right; you could it it much more basically but these tools exist for a reason - flexibility. Youre bound to want to do that one little extra thing one day that a custom coded solution just won't let you do without a lot of work.

Using something as complex as wordpress seems like overkill. I only really want a file with the layout in html and a file with the content, txt or xml or something. A bit more googling seems to imply it is tricky and need PHP and mySql. I'd have though it would be simpler as is it is with programming in C and just using 'include' Not sure about the horse. Probably hungry or stupid or both. warton on "HTML help" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/html-help-1#post-2477485 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 17:48:35 +0000 warton 2477485@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ wordpress joomla drupal all do this much better than you will ever be able to. simonfbarnes on "HTML help" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/html-help-1#post-2477456 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 17:42:26 +0000 simonfbarnes 2477456@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ I want to know why that horse has its head stuck in a tree! is it dead ? allthegear on "HTML help" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/html-help-1#post-2477410 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 17:12:16 +0000 allthegear 2477410@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ IN that case, it's all possible but so is re-inventing pencil sharpeners - why do it when someone has already spent a lot of time on it and done a really good job? Seriously, you will benefit from having a look at a Content Management System, let's say WordPress. Learn how that works and it will pay back a thousand times. <a href="http://www.wordpress.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.wordpress.org</a> (I actually use a different CMS, <a href="http://www.drupal.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.drupal.org</a>, but I'm told WordPress has a quicker learning curve) Rachel nickjb on "HTML help" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/html-help-1#post-2477403 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 17:08:01 +0000 nickjb 2477403@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <blockquote>trying .. to separate the content and the layout</blockquote> I suppose I am trying to do that.

Not really sure where to start or what to google so any pointers would help. Ideally I want a file full of all the content that is then loaded to the website. Is this possible/easy? So the file would look something like: PageTitle1 = "This is page 1" Content1 = "Lots of text about something" Image1 = "/images/pitureofahorsey.jpg" and the index.html would very very roughly be < h1 > PageTitle1 < /h1 > Content1 < img > Image1 < /img > to look like this on the website This is page 1 Lots of text about something <img src="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01012/horse460b_1012174c.jpg">
