I know CSS can be used to change the colors and size of text, but is there a way to add text with CSS so it will update it to all pages?
For example, say I add a new page of content to my site and want all of my pages to link to it. Can I edit an external CSS file and have it appear on all of my pages?
Your better off using some kind of server side includes or something something similar.
You could (theoretically) do it with the content attribute, but the problem is that IE and others don't support it, only Mozilla and Opera do. Plus, the point of CSS is to seperate style from content, and thus the content attribute should be used sparingly to keep with the idea, not for large blocks of text.
You could do it with an external JavaScript file, Server-Side Includes, or PHP. JavaScript will be the least accessible because it may not be supported or may be disabled by the client; SSI and PHP are the most accessible because they are handled server-side, before any output is passed to the client -- but they require additional settings / software on the server.
Depending on which method would work best for you, you should probably ask how to do it on the Apache forum (SSI is Apache technology), the PHP forum or the JavaScript forum.
