Have to go into HTML file every time you add a new blog post?

Once your blog is on the web, how do you add a new blog post? There's no way you have to go into your HTML file, write your post, and then re-upload your entire site, right? What about if you build a blog for someone else? How will they be able to manage their blog easily without having to go through me? Thanks!

If you created a 100% HTML blog with no Content Management System of any kind, you would need to upload at least the new blog post to your site and update any blog post listings every time you write a new post.

However, there are a number of great CMSs out there to help with this problem. They establish an (usually) easy to use interface for creating and managing posts and pages while adhering to HTML and CSS template guidelines built when developing the site. One of the most popular CMSs available these days is WordPress. In fact, there are a couple of WordPress tracks available here on Treehouse. I highly recommend them -- even if you eventually decide you like another CMS better.
