blog site and scripts

hi everyone

I'm about to start building a website which is pretty much a blogging site with pictures etc - a lot of new information on a pretty regular basis.

I was hoping i wouldn't have to build a site that would require new pages for every new part of a blog or article. Is there a way to perhaps build a nice template and then have the text generated from another document into the template, to save time and pain?

So instead of having 10 pages for a 10 page article, I could have one page and then the other 9 pages worth of information is generated from somewhere else?

Do you guys have any ideas for how I could do this?

Thank you!
Ness

I can only add pictures to the posts, not the comments.

I found blogger.com really easy to use, it FTPs all the relevant files
to my site. I can add photos to any post but comments can't. I think it
works differently now, all XML based, but I could be wrong.

wordpress nice and easy and the front end simple, support not great problems setting up on my host

Serendepity, great package, god support but still not sure of the pluggins. currently using it. Had problems setting up but the support was there and managed fine. Still having problems seting up on a testing server on my local machine, think it has something to do with htaccess but will sort it out. Currently running it live on my webserver, check it out http://www.muskat.co.za/serendipity/

I am basicaly looking to set up a site for my dive club where members can add pictures to their comments, trying to figure out how to do this and also how to resize the pictures that are uploaded.

Then use a blogging engine.

Wordpress is probably the most popular.
