You don’t really know if your templates and CSS are well factored until you try to make changes.
You’re reading Signal v. Noise, a publication about the web by Basecamp since 1999. Happy !

You could build a navigation with 10 nested tables but include it on multiple pages with SSI.

on 07 Jan 10Who cares about how you do it. That’s just techniques.
No matter how you devide it up into templates and scripts, if the site changes, you have to make those changes. How easy is that process?? That is the question.

on 07 Jan 10I build all my sites in an ancient version of GoLive Cyberstudio, and then update my pages and templates individually from memory; this adds a certain level of randomness and unpredictability that demonstrates by ability to really think outside the box. Between those skills and my massive animated GIF collection, I’m ready to tackle any challenge!
