How to automatically update webpages for new links

[prem]

Can anybody tell me about any software/script that helps me build/update links for my web pages at one go.

Basically I have to update the contents of my website by adding new articles on daily/weekly basis. My site has approx. 80-90 pages. Whenever I add a new page on site, I have to manually insert the link of that page on all the 80-90 pages. This process is very lengthy and time consuming. I think many webmasters face this problem.

Can anybody advise how this process can be made automatic. Can we do it through CSS? All suggestions are welcome.

Regards

I can't honestly think of any software that will paste your new links into all those files. If you are allowed server sides includes on your server then you should be and just have on menu file. If your server only allows raw HTML then the copy/paste is the only option (except IFRAMEs and JavaScripts which have their own problems.)

Prem - If your server supports SSI (server side includes), you can make a code snippet and name it something like menu.html

Then include it in the document with a SSI call

<!--#include virtual="menu.html"-->

The code snippet can be a word, table, whatever. It doesn't need any of the standard .html html, head, body tags

Just think of it as the server copying and pasting that code snippet into your document just before it serves the page.

The source code will only show the snippet, not the include statement.

Then you only need to change the menu.html file.

I use SSI for headers, menus and footers.

are you linking to every page from every page?

Divide your site into categories.
Like tree branches.

But a SSI would be the way to go if you must.
