I've created a website through dreamweaver 8 and am now wanting to setup an administrative area so that people can add content to the site without having to start entering code or loading up dreamweaver. I want them to be able to do it online. It will require a security logon. Whats the best way of doing this and are there any tutorials that can help me?

Cheers

or if you want more than one person to be able to log in, tweak the user login system a bit

This is also a fairly common question, do a little searching and you might come up with something.

Is there a way you can setup a page that can add content to another page without having to create databases. I want to be able to be able to add a new bulletin to the Homepage by entering it in an Admin page and clicking add.

Will worry about the security aspect later.

One of the best ways to do a login would probably just use your CPanel's script thing, On Sever Seed's CPanel there is a thing called web protect and you go in there and you can protect a folder and set the users for it.

I'm wanting a tutorial for updating content on a page, adding a bulletin by using an admin page.

If you search for news systems or cms's in the tutorial database, you shouldn't have to many problems coming up with a few results.

But without using a database, you would have to use files (often referred to as "flat files"). Maybe you could make an xml document containing the news entries and use php's xml parsing functions to get them (or write a custom function to do it for you).
