Bill,

We recently converted about 80% of our site (600 pages were converted) to
Dreamweaver templates. They appear to work pretty well, but we did have some
problems. For instance, we were copying and pasting stuff from old pages
into
the template and it couldn't be done directly into the page. The pasting had
to be done into the code ... More later.

For examples:

old site is at http://lweb.tc.columbia.edu

new site is at http://lux1.tc.columbia.edu

Laura

p.s. You might consider using includes for header and footer instead of
templates.

I have Dreamweaver on order.  I did test it on my own personal website
before.  Does anyone have any recommendations for converting a large site to
take advantage of Dreamweaver's template functions?  I want to create a
common header(?)  and footer(?) for all our webpages. Any other thoughts on
such a project?
