<br>
You know this makes sense. I took quick looks at Drupal and Joomla, but
just didn't find them initially very intuitive (even though I've heard
raves about both). Perhaps I just didn't have the time to really dive
in then. I'll check out MODx. Do you have any opinions on Drupal and
Joomla? What's the major difference between the 3?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<div> When you do things this way, what you're essentially doing
is manually maintaining a static
website - but you're using a tool, like dreamweaver to hide most of the donkey work.
This isn't a very efficient way to work, even if you are using
dreamweaver, or some other tool. You would, in my opinion, be better
off - in lots of ways - using a simple CMS to build your websites,
rather than doing static sites. This way, you separate your content
from your templates completely, the CMS stores the template and content
separately - and only merges the two at page request time. This is just
one of a _huge_ number of benefits the flow from using a decent CMS for
your projects.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Once you've done one site this way, you'll find that it's
much quicker to build than doing a static site - and maintainence time
drops dramatically, compared to static sites. If you haven't used a CMS
before, I would suggest maybe trying MODx - a simple, elegant open
source CMS which is free & easy to get going with. If you're

I'm trying to make the move from Dreamweaver and have a feature
question. In DW, when starting a new web project, I would create a
template, usually with website header, footer, navigation type items,
then use this template to build the rest of the pages for the site. If
I needed to make a change, for instance adding an item to the
navigation bar, I'd do so in the template, save and then that change
would be applied to the rest of the pages in the project (those created
from the template of course). <br>
<br>
Is there a similar feature in Geany? It would seem an immense labor,
especially if the website was a large one, to have to go to each page
and make 1 small change. <br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for the help,<br>
<br>
Veronica<br>
