    They are definetly read from a database. Although I don't know what server side language they are using, (Ruby?), but most def. it's a database driven site.

        There's a huge difference between HTML and PHP (google it and find out). This site was not written in html only.

          PHP and other server side languages are processed before they ever reach your browser. With HTML, you request a file and the browser grabs the file and displays it. With PHP, you request a file, the file is processed, carrying out any PHP code within it, and then displays it in the browser.
