How do you add details of your projects to your website?

I built my website in about 3 days because i wanted to get it on my resume as fast as possible. I did everything in html with notepad because it was what I knew.

Now i would like to start updating with recent projects and changes to past projects. The manual html editing is getting tedious.

How do you guys do it?

I'm playing with using Wordpress, but i'm not sure if it will do what i need.

PHP is the way to go. I'm too lazy to learn PHP after years of HTML, I just wrote a little program in Java that updates navigation links and other side-wide stuff, so if I need to change a navigation bar or something I just change it on one universal text file, and the Java program goes through and fixes all of the other HTML files.

But IMO just learn PHP

I ended up using WordPress. It's pretty versatile.

You might also want to look at Joomla! or Drupal which I think is what the main society of robots site uses. I set up a web site for my wife using Joomla! and so far she likes it. It allows her to add all the content she wants without knowing any HTML. Her site is www.lil-whiskers.com not robot related but it will give you an idea of what a basic Joomla! site is like. I'm running a slightly modified stock template.

SoR runs on hand coded html. Its fast, clean, easy, and efficient.

It then uses a layer of SSI (server side includes) to do the repetitive stuff (ie menu bar on the left, title at the top, and misc other stuff).

The forum runs on php and MySQL.
