Navigation links help many pages

    I have many pages on my web site. There are going to be over a thousand html pages. My problem is I need to just put a link to a menu html page instead of changing all 1000 pages each time I change a link. I would like it to be easy to change and navigate in the end. My links are just text links that I want to do this for. The page is based upon CSS & HTML. I've tried to include the links menu page and get nothing showing when I do and I've tried putting it into CSS, but I don't believe I have the things I need for it to link correctly. I'm using Dreamweaver to create my pages. You can view the page here:

    The links on the left side and at the bottom are the 2 areas I need to have one page for and to include into the site. Right now I'm having to change them on each page as I add a new link :( Any help on this matter would be great.

    TIA!

    You need to create a seperate file with your menu in it and use a server side include to pull it into the page in the correct place. Then you can just change this one file and it will update every page on your site.

    As your pages are html rather than php you will need to use mod rewrite to make your server process html files as if they were php files.
