How to build a link bar that won't mess up?

S

I built my first site using a Dynamic Web Template and a
Table of Contents. The "expert" books describe how to make
these but don't tell you about the unbelievably annoying
glitches that crop up. Thanks to people here I was able to
limp through those enough to get the site running ok, but
I want to avoid such a mess on future sites.

I have created content for site #2, and now I want to
create an error-free link bar for it. I will also be using
a standard page as a "template" (for lack of a better
term) for hundreds of pages eventually. What link bar
strategy works for you -- easy to create, loads to your
server ok without changing the navigation structure, easy
to edit later on, etc.? And what is the least frustrating
way to create a "template" -- shared borders or????

If you want total flexibility, avoid using shared borders, themes or any of the FP navigation
component, instead learn to design your overall site design with tables for all browsers, or CSS for
most recent browsers, create your navigation structure manually and then insert it into all pages
either using the Dynamic Web Template component and/or the Dynamic Web Template with the FP Include
Page component to manage your navigation.
