Hi, just found this tonight through and email signature. I love it thank you to everyone that puts there time into this.
Ok, here is the question, I am starting section on our website and in the course of doing it I have changed the look several times. This made me realize I can not keep recoding all the pages.
How can I change the look without have to change every page all the time, I thing that is what CSS does but have never worked with it.
There are two areas that I am especially concerned about, the Navigation at the top and the footer at the bottom with the links to our other sites, copyright, etc.
I wouldn't want to implement a solution that is not search engine friendly so please specify that you know it won't.
If you want to see the example section of the site it is www.BeverlyHillsDirectory.com/Inside
Thank you!
Rheogh

You need to use external CSS file.
Example:
yoursite.css
yoursite.html
Next time, you need to modify yoursite.css file only.

If you are looking for some solution to separate your header and footer html code then you need to use SSI (Server Side Includes).

if you don't know how to do CSS, the includes are the way to go

Yeah, they pretty much said it. You've got to either use an external CSS file, or a modular site design with includes. The other option is to use a free service like Spruz.com which allows you to change all that on your spruz site without changing the content.

I've been using a CMS system. All of the templates are controlled by an external html and a css file. I didn't really know CSS when I started, but in a very short time I became capable of manipulating the CSS so that the template is unrecognizable from the default.
Through the CSS I can use the template over and over and no one knows that it all came from the same basic one.
Just start experimenting on a test site and you will master CSS files in no time. No pain, no gain
