Updating Your Web Site Efficiently
Many new webmasters, and even seasoned web designers, create web sites that are very inefficient in regard to updates. Updating your site keeps visitors coming back day in and day out, while at the same time giving search engines plenty to index. Yet if the task of updating your web site is not an efficient one, hundreds and thousands of hours can be lost. Using simple solutions, such as content management systems, the efficiency of updating a web site can be improved dramatically.
The Trap of a "Simple" Web Site
When I first started learning web design, I learned enough to make a simple web page. "Cool! I made a web page!" I thought. Indeed. Then I proceeded to make an entire web site, several hundred pages deep. "Cool! I made a web site!" Then came time to update the site. This is what I call the trap of a "simple web site."
An inexperienced webmaster makes a web site using HTML with no CMS (Content Management System), no Style Sheets, no includes, then finds things need to be updated and goes through and changes every single page on the site. Mean while, a Webmaster using includes or a CMS is able to update his or her site in a fraction of the time.
Fortunately, the trap is very easy to escape, and if the problem is addressed right away, not much time is lost at all. The downside is that if you get stuck in the trap, you can spend countless hours making changes to your site that otherwise could have taken minutes.
Getting Out of the "Simple" Web Site Trap
To get out of the "simple" site trap, simply transfer your site to a CMS or use includes and style sheets. There are huge numbers of CMS solutions available. Some are free, some charge a one-time fee and others charge a subscription fee. To get the best service, you will have to pay a little more. Having someone there to answer your questions when you need them answered is a huge plus. Spending the extra money to get the extra service is often well worth the investment. If your budget is tight, Open Source CMS solutions are available for free. A good programmer can do a basic installation of such a system in a few hours. PHP Nuke is an example of one popular Open Source CMS.
Conclusion
Many CMS solutions do much more than just allow your web site to be updated easily. A top-notch solution will include email marketing, web forms, e commerce, members' areas, lead management, and more. If you've found yourself in the "simple" site trap, the best thing you can do is get out right now. Still, careful research will ensure that you will get the most for your money.

Mathew E. Tamin is a 24 year old power house for the Kingdom of God. At the age of 7 Mathew accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. In less than one week after accepting Christ into his life, the Lord Jesus appeared to Mathew in a dream and said, You shall establish my Kingdom and my Son Jesus will help you.Subsequent dreams of Christïcs appearances, angelic visitations, and visitation to Hell followed.
While in high school, Mathew had a trance. In that trance, the Lord Jesus Christ showed him hell and what happens to those who do not accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. After that experience, Mathew's life was never the same.
Mathew graduated from college (Kean University) at the age of 20 with a B.A. in Psychology and an A.A. in Music. He was the president of the Kean University Gospel choir and very active in student government. He also had helped leadership positions in Campus Crusade for Christ, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and Fresh Oil Ministries in college.
In 2005, Mathew founded Divine Destiny Ministries, a group of people who are on fire to save the lost souls from going to hell through his books and other ministry resources. Divine Destiny Ministries would later relocate to Rapid City, South Dakota. The primary ministry and motto of Divine Destiny Ministries is, �Taking the Gospel to the Nations� Matt 19:28. Most importantly, he has a passion to see the lives of people transformed by the power of God.
Today, Divine Destiny Ministries is reaching over 100 countries in 45+ languages.

Re: Eng Lit Academic Site Up For Review
- Hi David
Site looks good but I agree with Zacman, the header definitely needs something more on it. It doesn't need to be beautiful but it does need to catch the eye to attract people to read further.
