I am currently improving a website, and I have come to realize that I don't want to scan through a whole lot of code just to change dates and numbers.

My question is: can I somehow nest an HTML file? What I want to do is set up a blog and just place that file in the middle of a page..

Does that make sense? Basically, I want to know if html files can be nested (or whatever it is called). If someone knows what I'm talking about, could you PM me or something and I can give you the link to the site I'm working on...

Peace,

use iframes..

<iframe src="link to your blog" name="name of frame" border="0" allowtransparency="true" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"></iframe>

or if your host allows php u can use this..

<?php

include "path to your blog";

?>

So far everyone is right, but these aren't really the "best" way (unless you're coding in PHP).

If the rest of the page is in PHP, use the code listed above. Since you called it a blog, it most likly is done in PHP, but I'd suspect the info you're inputing would be stored in a database anyway, and would eliminate the need for a secondary file.

Frames (and floating frames/iframes) are tacky. See the sequence site if you don't believe me (new one soon!).

The best method for this is to use what's known as an SSI (server side include). Typically you've got to write your file in SHTML, which only changes what you name the file (PHP, in theory, would put more stress on the server, but in this instance probably is unnoticable).

So rename your file from stuff.html to stuff.shtml, and where you want the code to appear, add either of the following two statements:
