thank you for your reply, i have now edited the website but i do not know whether i have done it correctly

i have uploaded it

http://pennyarcade.99k.org/indexforcms.html

what it should be like is this

http://pennyarcade.99k.org/index.html

thats the static html

i have used {menu} for the page numbers
{title} for the title of the games
{content_image} for the star rating that will be below the image
{page_image} for the image of the game

i have no idea if this is right or not and if cms simple will work with this?
is their anything im doing wrong or could improove?
thank you

I think you have no idea how a cms works. You can't put a cms next to a static site hoping the cms-site will work. Try googling on 'How does a cms works' to understand the basics.

If you want to change your static website to a cms-driven website, you have to copy the content of every page of your static site manually into the cms.
Also read http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/layout/co ... e-to-cmsms

I would think about what you doing before I copied another websites complete layout, it is most likely copyrighted and most don't appreciate someone coming along and stealing their layout that they most likely paid someone good money to build...
