Hi Guys,

I'm working on re-designing the main page of my domain to include more includes.

Currently I have a few includes for my php banner system (dotbanner).

I also have two includes...both similar but for the latest 5 posts from two topic different forums.....

I also have another include that pulls the latest post from our "kudos" forum

Now i plan on adding a log-in include...

and 2 more includes for fresh content daily. (One include will be a thread that I choose weekly for "hot topic" but I didn't want it based on replies...but on best content.)

My question? Does this kind of query set up with includes cause a problem for bandwidth?

I'm asking because I am php challenged, server admin challenged, and except for the fact that I understand that bandwidth is costly...and larger/more graphics cost more money per visitor, I'm wondering if I'm creating a monster by redesigning my main page of my domain based on includes. Does it matter?

Any thoughts or advise? thanks!
