Thanks Naval,
I thought that might be the way to go since I read that PHP was more SE friendly :)

Re: Apply to all pages feature wanted!

I did the php method and after some effort got it all figured out!!!
I'm so happy :)


I have a question about my Menu bar:
It's not a BV menu bar. Its just text links on a background shape.
Would I still be better off using a CSS text menu bar for SE purposes.
Or will the search engines be ok with my menu bar as is.
Here is the link: www.industrialsuppliesandservices.com

Also I read that SE dont like the BV drop down menu. Does that go for CSS drop down menus also.

This forum and the help it gives is like nothing Ive seen.
Thanks Blue voda

CSS text based menus are best, BV dropdowns can NOT be explored by SE.

Hi naval,
I dont think your understanding what I'm asking or maybe I'm not understanding the answer....lol

First, I think that I am assuming that there is such a thing as a CSS Drop down menu.....is there?? As opposed to a CSS text based regular menu.

I know you said that BV dropdown menus can not be used.
But if there is such a thing as a CSS drop down menu......Can they be read by SE as easily as a regular CSS text based menu??

I hope that makes sense :)

Thanks,
Randy

No there is no CSS drop down, There are Flash and DHTML dropdowns

I know you said that BV dropdown menus can not be used.

I beleive that if there were (text based) CSS dropdowns, they would be easily read by SE (because based on text). But i don't know of any.

Hello =)

I have a suggestion that would make things MUCH easier.

I'm not sure if there is already a way to do this or not, but I haven't seen one.

I find it extremely tedious to have to add a navigation button to every single page on my site. Also, to have to add the keywords and meta tags to every single page is a bit much.

We should have a little "Apply to All Pages" button! =)

Just a thought! Not sure how difficult or easy a feature like that would be.

If anyone is interested in a text "Search and Replace" which will do about 50 webpages in apprx 3.2 seconds take a peak at this free program at
Your Local Software Download Centre
This free software will Search and replace any word, phrase, or sentence in a folder and any lower subfolders.

Check it out and enjoy..................

Thanks Naval,
I think I will just leave my navigation bar the way it is then.
Its just text links on a colored background shape.

Unless someone has any suggestions on a SE friendly drop down menu :)

My site would really benefit from a drop down menu.

Re: Apply to all pages feature wanted!

This is probably a silly question but what is "CSS"?

Re: Apply to all pages feature wanted!

CSS can control what yours sites colours/text/backgrounds & much more via just 1 file.
This file has instructions that tells the pages on how to display themselves.
BV uses some css to control elements of its pages.
But this is a little bit more for those that can write code.

I too am going to try the public program mentioned above to modify all menus. I have built my site using a secondary domain name so the former site could stay up until I am ready. Now, redirecting the old domain name to the vodahost site requires all menus and links to be changed to the old domain name from the new. A universal find and replace would be great.
