Indeed.

Indeed.

I think you didn't miss anything and understood things right. My
ISP doesn't support PHP so I have to stick with a static webpage.
It isn't a big project, just a simple personal homepage. One
of the problems I'm having is that for now I copy-paste my
navigation to each .html file... and I want to make things a bit
more manageable, so I think my best option is to use some kind of
HTML-preprocessing system to generate the static HTML pages.
So my cycle will be:
1. Modify the templates/content
2. `Compile' the templates/content to static .html files
3. Upload these static .html files to the webspace my ISP
provides me.
For now, I am in doubt whether I will use the PHP command line
client, the Template Toolkit (http://www.template-toolkit.org/)
or htp (http://htp.sourceforge.net/) or anything alike...
I like the fact that PHP is used by many users and is currently
still under very active development (so lots of support). That
could be a good reason to choose PHP and not the Template Toolkit
or htp or a thing like that...
Best wishes,
Bart
