Is there a way to do this?

[BTM]

Okay, I've got a site which I'll have the same thing on several of the
pages (a menu. and text at the bottom telling people who they can
email). My question is, how can I make it some that there's like a
site "template" that all the pages share, and that if I change one of
those section on one page (or the "main" page) it'll automatically
change on all of them?

I know how to do for autoupdating links and stuff, but I'm sure
there's a way to do something like this for other things.

I'm using Macromedia Dreamweaver.

Search for information about PHP includes. They will do what you want, and
are really easy to use.

Pretty much you need a PHP include or a cold fusion. Try PHP first and
if you cant get it to work try using cold fusion

What's wrong with plain old SSI and .shtml documents? There's also ASP on
windows boxes, not JUST PHP and Cold Fusion.

You can also run PHP on windows boxes you know ;-) I'm sat here at home,
running Windows 98SE (yes, I know...) with PHP, Apache and MySQL quite
happily... I think of it as my WAMP setup ;-)

I have PHP, MySQL on windows as well. I have WinXp Professional with IIS.
One of the great things about PHP is that often hosts will have both ASP
and PHP running on the same box, so you can mix and match (yes, I know
that's a bad idea).

Sadly, I'll have to learn all this on my own, as the university I went
to didn't have a class on PHP, MySQK or ASP (never mind I'm supposed
to be graduation this with an IT degree) and I have hopes of being a
web desing so day..

Oh, the irony...

I never went to school to learn any of my scripting skills. I just did a
lot of Googling, found some sites that had good information, and went on
from there. Of course, the other great way to learn is to lurk in
appropriate usenet groups - I learned a lot from doing that.
