Hey all, maintaining my dads club website and have an events page : (http://vividnightclub.co.uk/services.html)

and when i add a new event i have to go and create the events ownpage then seperatley open all the other evens and hyperlink them all back to that one page so it can be VERY lengthy some times,

Is there anyway i can link one event page to all the others in one go without having to do them all seperatley in either expressionweb or CS5 Dream Weaver?

Many Thanks,
Curtis,,

Depending on the type of hosting you have you may be able to use server-side includes. This will enabble you to have the menu stored as one file, which is referenced in each event page. More information here.

Try it first, if it doesn't work, have a chat with your host about having it enabled.

you could use a library item in dreamweaver.
This lets you make one page that has all the links in.
Then when you make new page you ad tags to include the library item.
When ever you edit the library item it auto edits all your pages that have the item tags in it.

Best way is includes like Spunkey mentioned above. Means you only have to update one location to affect all instances.

Server-side includes really are the best way forward, should make maintaining the site a lot easier.

You could also look perhaps to move to some type of CMS maybe Drupal Gardens (http://www.drupalgardens.com) or Wordpress?

It really depends on how often you need to add events and make changes to the site.

--Edit--
It also appears that the search on that site does not work
