Template Diaster

[slickonenow]

I am building a site using a template. I have a form page that I detached from the template and about 8 pages that are atached. Suddenly I have a main.dwt file in the template subdirectory and a new one appearing in the site's root directory. When I make a change to either of the templates files they (really should just be the one in template subdirectory) do not update site pages.
Is there any kind of recovery from this? And what happened?
The only thing I can think of is to detach each page and edit them one at a time manually.
Please HELP!

Thank you,
Paul Silkiner

Or, detach each page and then reattach them pointing htem at the template you want to use.

I find templates are a pain in the arse. better to use CSS

Hi there,
I have to agree with Microbe, even at college they taught us that CSS is the easiest way for templates. It enables quicker update to use the templates you want for each page.

Good luck.

Maybe I'm confused, but isn't CSS used to distribute font styles across your website?

...Whereas the template feature of dreamweaver is for distributing webpage content?
