How can this be done???

Let's say I have a website about cars.

Home -> Toyota, Mercedes, Honda, etc -> steering wheels, tires, upholstery, etc.

On the steering wheel pages, a header says "Mercedes Steering Wheels", or "Toyota Steering Wheels", etc -- same phrase for each car.

But what if, in the future, I want to change it to "The Steering Wheels of (car company)"? How can I do this without having to go in and change each page manually?

I use GoLive, and templates, but I don't really see how to do this with a template.

 

Well, for big project, like this, best solution is PHP with MySQL. But....

I do not understood where is this pharses? Are they in TITLE? If they are in the title tag, it is easy.

I'm using Dreamweaver, but I am sure that GoLive can do the same.

Go to Find/Replace and

Search: "<title>"
Replace "<title>The"

Probably there is option to search/replace in whole project in source code.

I hope that this was helpfull.

 

These phrases would be on the page somewhere, in an h1 tag or something similar.

GoLive does indeed have a site-wide find/replace, that might be my best bet. I know nothing about databases and don't really have time to learn now.

Thanks!

 

For SEO purposes, try to name each directory on the webserver after the content of its menu-area/subdivision. For example:

site.com/toyota/steering-wheels/steering-wheels.html

This is easier to achive with non-database solutions.

 

Fortunately I am doing that! Thanks.

 

use php.. makes life so much simpler.

that way you can just do an include, read the keyword, and fix it up in any way you like.
site.com/index.php?brand=toyota&steering=brandname etc.

 

Sounds tempting. Any idea where a newbie can learn about simple php?

 

php.net, they have a good tutorial

 

Thanks I'll check it out.

 

For beginners, I recommend buying a book. Books always work better than tutorials for starters. After you get the hang of it, switch to online tutorials.
