How can you create a website?

How can I create a space where others or I can update my website?

• I have created a website for my church. I am of course self taught and so therefore have a "hodge podge" of stuff to my website. It is all uniform and everything works and honestly I think it looks good and it will serve the purpose of what we need BUT --- I have the home page and 7 sub-pages (for our church committees) and I want to have areas (on each of the sub-pages) that I can add information OR designated people can add information....like a box that people can add prayer requests (that would open to everyone)....or on the Sunday School page, the teacher can say what her lesson of the week is about (that would be for just the teachers)....or our Ladies' Guild and Men's Club can add announcements (that would be for just the designated members to update)....if that all makes sense can someone tell me how to do this -- or a good website or youtube video that will teach this to me. I DO NOT have Dreamweaver or anything and have just been writing code inside an HTML/CSS code in Notepad --- so it has to be something I can just write in a code for. Thank you!

• Answer:

  What you want to do will require PHP and some MySQL. It'd be a good idea to switch to Notepad++ which is a wonderful code editor I've been using for around 5 years now. I'll explain what you need to do in proper terms, then you can start learning PHP :) Create a button on a page that is linked to a textarea (style the page if you want) Make sure you add a password field so malicious editors don't mess it up. $_POST the data from the textarea to a variable Validate the password Run a MySQL query inserting that data in to the database along with something that describes the page like 'info' with the information 'this is info'. Then on the actual info page, run a query to fetch assoc row Echo the text that corresponds to 'info' title Easy :D
