So I know that static sites are for wussies. ;)

But - how can I find bits of code which are on each page and replace them in all the documents wihout having to open each and do the change individualy.

Is there a free program which can do this? I'm limited to Editplus2 at the moment and I havent been able to find it in there(I think DW can do it but its not an option at the moment).

UltraEdit (there is a 45 day test version) and NoteTab Light (freeware) can help you with your problem.

There are many dedicated tools for search and replace out there, just hit one of the huge script sites. Many are GNU licensed or just freeware.
Also most html editors have more or less capable doing the job.

You can even use Microsoft Word if you have it installed. Just remember to save the file as text.

(This doesn't work if you have Word set to edit HTML files though.)
