Web programming, again.
-
I have a normal HTML/CSS w/some JScript thrown-in webpage, with > 50 individual blog pages that are indexed from the main index.html file. On my wishlist are two things: -would like to add a Search Box. Not one that depends on an external search engine. I want to roll my own, so to speak. I want to have all my pages accessible - so that I can search through the pages and then display the results to a user after a search. I'm thinking that the pages need to be put into a database for this(?) -Would like to add a 'prev' and a 'next' function to the bottom of each sub-webpage. The user should not always have to navigate back to the index to see another page. Would like one function that takes an argument - prev or next. Or two separate functions are ok. What I want to avoid is having to hardcode "num of next page", and "num of prev page" on every subpage. Can be very error-prone. What language(s), DBs would be best for this? I worked as a professional programmer in the past, so complexity of code is not a problem. A language that works good with a DB (if needed), and one where the functions work in Windows and in Linux is important. Also, a great debugger is paramount, as I anticipate using it a lot when first starting out.

Consider using a pre-developed blog engine. This is a classic situation of build vs buy. However, there are some nice open-source solutions out there. A quick search pulled up the following: http://www.dotnetblogengine.net/[^]

Yes, it looks nice. :) Interested in honing my web programming skills at this point. And I have the time. The thing is, most of the blog is already built and working. I just want to add a couple of features to it.
