mikeslife.info - I need ideas?
On the far right hand side, there is a "Whats New?" area.
This is on all pages but has to be manually changed each time; this is becoming a pain having to manually edit all pages just for a small update.
Can anyone reccommend what else to place here instead or some kind of Javascript Code which updates them all when i update the homepage part?
Regards,
Mike

A PHP include would be ideal here. Include a file in that area on all pages and just update the one file when needed.
The include code wouldn't need to be changed as long as the included filename stayed the same.
<?php//whats new area
include_once('whats_new.php');//can be a .txt, .html .. etc
?>
As you use HTML files, you will need to either change them to .PHP wherever you have the "What's New" OR put a re-write rule in the .htaccess file.

Another method that I have used - Server Side Includes. It's very likely that these are available on your host - if not, ask them to allow them for you. Way simpler than PHP, too, IMHO.
Cordially, David
