Straying into the off-topic, but IMHO, any website with more than a dozen 
pages should use a content management system so that consistant navigation 
can be maintained between pages.

The alternatives are ugly -- frames, Java-/ECMAscript (document.write, 
anyone?). 

If you don't have enough control over your pages to do this server side, 
then write a script on your own computer that accomplishes the same thing 
and then spits out the finished pages. I used to use such a thing.
