Hi everyone. To give you an idea of what my discussion is about, take a quick look at this website: **broken link removed**
If you look at the left, there's a news panel which gives some general news on what's happening in the author's life at any time. If you click on any of the other areas of the site using the top menu bar (personal, electronics etc) you'll find that the same news panel appears. Unfortunately, I'm not very clever at webdesign so what you're actually seeing is a completely different news panel with the same information inside it. This means that whenever I want to update the News, I have to do it for every page in which that news panel occurs. And it's the same for a couple of other bits on my site.
I'm sure it must be possible to create one news panel, and then have all the other pages jump to it so that the same panel is displayed on every page where it's included. Then, I'd only have to update the panel itself and all the other pages would contain the up to date information - that would be soooooooo much better.
I'm using dreamweaver to do the site, but I can also do the coding by hand as well - I just find a WYSIWYG program much easier. Can anyone recommend any techniques to get what I want done?
