I was wondering how to make it so staff member's of my website can just update the new's by loggin in or something of the sort? I don't even know how to make the log-in script thingy. Sorry I'm just really really bad at this, any help? Btw just clearing things up I used Frontpage as my webpage maker thingy, which also means I don't really know html too well.

What you want is not really involved in HTML but server side scripting such as PHP or ASP.
You want a CMS (Content Management System) or news script. There are many packages already available that you could incorporate into your site.

http://www.postnuke.org is one example
if your webhost used cpanel then it is really easy to install (its one of the cpanel modules, under scripts)

nice layout!
unfortunatly most isps onl provide hosting of basic html pages and cannot support php and mysql (needed to run dynamic pages such as forums and cms)

Not a bad layout, some of the images seem out of place, but thats easily fixable.
I might suggest looking at http://hotscripts.com and checking out several PHP news management scripts in their database, or you can check CMSs' (?) aswell.

Here's one to try, remember the prices offered are not monthly but yearly, you'd be hard pushed to find anyone else offering the same for the price....

Joe Usa is dirt cheap eh? This php stuff is kinda complicated. See I have no background in html either. I just used frontpage so............ I'm lost in a world of scripts.

Hi majinuub,
Your getting good help here, I just wanted to mention on your page there...
Server #1: *.*.*.*
Server #2: *.*.*.*
...you should remove that information from being displayed on the Internet.

It's the counter-strike server's are hosted on there, but I guess I should remove that.

Yes. You should arrange email or something to pass-on the server IPs.
