Common html links and Library objects links difference

Does it make any difference to SE?

[silverbytes]

I have my menu links in all site as common html links which is very hard to maintain.

I'm afraid to put them into a library object in dreamweaver and SE don't like so notice a difference.

Is it safe to move my hardcode html to a libray object, will that affect the way SE see my site?

no it will not effect. It is always better to use library object.

Thanks

You would not be replacing your hard-coded html with library items. Library items are hard-coded -- the code from the .lbi is hard-coded into your pages at design-time, and absolutely the only difference in the code on your page is that the .lbi html that's written to the page by DW is surrounded by two innocuous comment tags that tells Dreamweaver where the .lbi starts and stops. SEs don't care one whit about comments in your code.

You might want to investigate server-side includes -- if you use SSIs for your menus and other common elements, your site will be much easier to maintain than using library items.
