Im tyring to find a way to apply a single template to a large amount of pages.
when i update my comic (http://www.graphiteplayground.com/comic), i have to make a new page specifically for each strip, and edit the "previous" and "next" buttons by hand.
i added a little scroll-down archive on each page, but just realized that to change it, i would have to go back through EVERY SINGLE page and change the archive. obviously, this would only get more and more tedious with each new update. how can i update numrous pages by changing a single peice of code? what is the solution?

well im using dreamweaver mx to do and manage my comic...and there you can make a page and save it as html AND as a template...and then you can use the template on other pages and when u update/resave teh template page it changes all teh other pages...but i dont know how you would do that any other way...sry

here's a script you can install on your server to take care of that stuff for you. Then you only need to edit a few templates by hand.
There are a few others also, do a search on hotsripts.com if you're interested. as a disclaimer i've never actually used any of them...yet.
