Include Subfolder? or I don't know :)
I want my website to work like the mentioned below, but I don't know how to do it. 
For example I want my contacs page to be in mysite.com/contacts but since it looks 97% just like all my other pages I don't want to make a new one. Only the text on the page should change entering the subfolder "contacts".
This is how I imagine things to work at:
Firewheel
(just an example)
Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

ok, sounds like you want some backend scripting. does your host support and backend languages like php or asp?
you can make a general page, layout etc. and then use a bit of scripting to read the url, and find out whether the request is for contact page, home page, etc. then you can load this content into the general page.
the content can be stored in a variety of ways; basic text files if you want a fast, simple solution. or maybe in xml files. or maybe in a database, either as plain text or something like xhtml2. depends how complex/nice you want to make the solution.

Yes, I recently installed php 5.

That must be the tricky part.

On the site I'm working on now, it doesn't really matter, but I would like to learn it all. I'm familiar to MySQL, but xml is almost untried.

no its not really tricky. i managed it! hehe. though i have to say, mine isn't the most beautiful of solutions (would probably put someone like Tim into a coma). but it works, which is all that really matters to me.
as regards storing the content, xml is very simple in general, its just the associated technologies that can get a bit complex from time to time (or rather, it appears to be complex). decide what you want to do.. maybe using a mySQL db is the best idea if you have some experience with it.

If you're using Python on the back end I can send you the tiny, but smart, system I use for Novemberborn.
