Hey everyone.

I am learning html and css at the moment and I have become stuck on a part of it.

I am currently creating a blog and I am a little confused how I would go about having a blog page and listing the automaticaly articles as they are publishes to one particular page.

    You are going to need to use a scripting language like php, not just html, to create a dynamic site.

    Is there a reason why you are reinventing the wheel rather than using a blogging platform like WordPress? There are valid reasons to go it alone, but for most purposes WordPress would save you lots of time and frustration, especially if you are just learning php.

    I've got a wordpress theme already. But I want to be able to use my own and make tweaks myself without having to pay money out.

    Its a learn as i go thing.

    I have pretty much done the layout of a theme already, but some parts I just don't know, like the above and other things.

    exactly.

    As soon as I have the theme I am working on ready, i'll be uploading it to wordpress and using it.

    I'll have a great looking website and a new skill set when its all done.

    Just from checking this site out, it appears that they are using WordPress. WordPress is a content management system that can be set up on your web hosting account, and it will let you manage the pages from the back-end.

    They are also using the Iconic One theme with a few plug ins. Hope this helps!

    Here is a thing, use wordpress but develop your own theme.
    Developing a wordpress theme is not very hard, it will come in handy just give it a shot.
