Hello!
I would like to continue to develop the simple web site.
I made only front page of the site, so we need more pages.
As you know, while using only HTML, we can have only static website. Which means we have difficulties to work with content management, or impossible to use cool ways to ramble through the pages. I can suggest you two ways.
- Use HTML template
- Copy one of the pages, and change the information
What is HTML template?
It’s a HTML page that is used for other pages. Mostly, it is used for design. Meaning of this is, when we created a HTML with header/footer and menu that are same for other pages, we can use this page on other pages. Just say <!chtml include “location and name of the temp page”>. But personally, I really don’t like this thing because it’s, actually, not using that template page. The code that what it is doing behind it, is just copying the code of the template page to the current page. I used this one time, and it worked fine. After that, I needed to change background color (just a small change), then made a change on template page, but when I look other pages, they looked exactly same as it used to. It supposed to use fixed template page. Therefore, I can;t suggest this way to you, but if you interest it, go ahead!
Copying page
This is a kind of awkward way, but pretty simple and easy to do, lol. Just duplicate an existing page (the example web has only page named index.html, currently), and rename it, change information inside it and add or make some changes. Most beginners start with this way. Disadvantage of this way is when make common changes like main menu changes, you have to do it on every single pages (so boring).
Next time, I will continue to develop the simple web.
If you have question or need help, you can tell me, I will love to help you if I can.
