My site is very new. It's at www.parentips.com I'm going to be adding new content on a continual basis. I've used a Frontpage Template for the design. But, when I add new content, I have to add a new page hyperlink to each page. This is manageable right now but I'm concerned about what to do when my site is much bigger. Would cascading style sheets be the way to go? What would be a good option for planning for future content? I don't know how to use style sheets and don't know if that's the way to go. I have FP2003 which I love to work with. Thanks so much for your ideas.

Includes are a great time managment piece. However sit down with a legal pad and pen first. Think out how many include pages might be needed and how.

For me I use a different navigation include page for each sub section of my sites. I also have three different header includes. For the last example I use one header for my 404 and site map page as all calls to images are absolute VS. relative. One header I leave my breadcrumb script out for cart pages. Another one I use relative image calls and a breadcrumb navigation.

So there are some versatile reasons for creating more than one include page for a certain element.

Also any of my given pages, that are user viewable, in any of my sites only have one thing one them as far as viewable elements go, the content block. The top of the page, the left hand side of the page, the bottom of the page are all includes.

As for external CSS, again it is a nice time management piece. It makes changes a snap sitewide.

Take care,

Brian
