Hi guys,
I'm basically at beginner level of coding, and website creation etc. Lately I've just been messing around and making fairly simple websites and forums.

Lately I've made a large scale website (or planned it) - it uses a template I downloaded for free, so I'm editing the template and using it for each html page on the site - and I'm wondering about how to put the whole thing together.

Now, theres basically 2 pages (Dreamline: About This Template and Dreamline: About This Template) that have about 100 links on them, and then in each of those 100 links, there will be about about another 100 links. I think I'm basically looking at over a thousand links and html pages. Someone was saying that I can use a php database or mysql to make a normal page, and then have variables on it for each page instead of making a html page.

Sorry if I'm not explaining this well. Basically what I was wondering is am I doing it right? Should I have over a thousand html pages for a site, or is that wrong lol?

I'll be uploading probably around 3000 pieces of software to it aswell, so i need one html page for each piece of software. Is there any easier way to do it?
