Band News Pages

[Ascendancy]

How can I make pages that have things like ' <back | Next> ' and they are links leading to the next page of news, like on a band site. I have an example here:

http://trivium.org/news.php

<a href="page1.html"> &lt; back</a> | <a href="page3.html">Next &gt;</a>

You'll most likely want to use some sort of content management system. Aside from organising the content how I think you want it, they can also ease the workload quite considerably when creating websites and adding pages / information to your site. Be warned though some can have very steep learning curves. There are loads of free ones available, most are open-source too. Check out opensourcecms.com (http://opensourcecms.com/) to mess around with some.

If you just want a simple news-based site a lot of the systems available to demo on that site will be overkill for your requirements but if your wanting to develop a band site you might desire other content such as band member profiles or mp3 song samples. In this scenario you may wish to opt for a more fully featured CMS with a large user community and lots of available user-contributed (or otherwise) addons. If you do go down this route you can do much worse than choose either Textpattern (http://www.textpattern.com/) or Drupal (http://www.drupal.org/) which I like largely because of their flexibility, although both can prove difficult for beginners - but then what isn't?

Hope this helps :)

Yea that helps. I was just gonna make a ton of seperate pages with different posts on each one, but your ideas are a lot better.
