Hi everyone,

Up until now, all my sites have been quite basic, non-dynamic, and built with either FrontPage or more recently with Dreamweaver.

Now that I'm learning about how to properly optimize sites for search engines, and learning how my site should be dynamic, perhaps have RSS feeds, blogs, etc.. I'm trying to figure out what direction to go in terms of what to use to build my next site.

I set up sites to promote my affiliate programs and/or adsense if that helps you answer my question.

I don't know PHP, mySQL or anything advanced like that. But I can follow instructions quite well. My hosting is on a Linux server, and they have Fantastico.

I installed and had a look at Drupal, didn't understand it's interface AT ALL (categories, etc.)

I also tried installing Joomla, looks better, but still I'm not sure what that will do for me. I see it has a lot of plugins available, does it make it easy to set up a dynamic site with blogs, RSS feeds? Will these pages be SEO-friendly?



Or should I continue to use Dreamweaver and manually add dynamic content somehow (insert code for RSS feeds or something)


Hope my question makes sense. Any advice would be much appreciated.


Thanks
Nathalie
