How do you make every page have the same style?

How would you make every single page in your web site have the same style as the home page? I can't seem to figure it out! It would be helpful rather than having to do it to all of the pages...someone help!

In BV I simply design a "template" that I name whatever I want - even template works - then when I start a new page, I call that up and build from there. When you have the page built, select save as - give it the new page name and then the next time, pull up that template page again.

Another option when a page will have lots of similarities to another page is to "clone" the page you want to use as the template - then delete the things you which to change and go from there.

Another option is to use iframes to make the header/nav bars and footer - on one or two or even 3 different pages - and call them up to each page. (I don't like this method, but it is well liked by some others on the forum). We each have to find what works best for us.

How might could I create a template for all of the pages?

You either use an existing template or you design your own - it really depends on which builder you intend to build with.

Take one of your pages and remove all the content except the header and footer and you logo and save it as a template or file.

Blue Voda has a clone icon on the toolbar, 2nd from left net to the new page icon. You can also clone a few pages at a time and name them newpage_1, 2, 3, 4 and rename the pages appropriately as you use them.

What would you put in a footer?

Add a text message or image and lock it in position. Works well if all your pages are the same length.

How bad was the quake?

I'm lazy. All I do for a new page is bring up the one I want to emulate and Save As with new name. Problem solved.

That'll work.
