Blog coding help

Brycek96 · 07-12-2011, 12:14 AM

I want to put some sort of blog-type thing on my website. Can I make this in HTML, or will I have to use Javascript or PHP?

You could do it with html and css but if you're wanting other people to be able to write in this blog you should probably use a cms or php.

So I could do the blog itself in html, then add a comment section using php? Thanks.

Yeah a blog is just like an article so you would use the html to write whatever content you want and css to style it. The comment section though would require php and mysql because it would be stuff submitted from other people. So you'd put a form at the bottom of the page with a textarea for their comment and use php to make their comment post to the page.
