CC, Thanks for the great app.

I'm new to RSD. I'm wondering:
1. Does RSD have it's own menu/nav bar creation capabilities?
2. Having to create menus in Menu Maker and then add the menu/nav bar to each page seems very tedious and redundant. Is there not a way to add it once and have it appear on every page automatically, and update dynamically based on the site structure?
3. I'm not sure what the correct term would be, but is there a way to create a master page or a series of master pages (maybe I'm talking about multiple CSS templates) that can apply to all the pages or just the pages we select? I'm concerned about the time it will take to replicate content repeatedly on each page. That's not a problem for a small site, but if it gets beyond 10 pages...ouch.

Hi Folivio,
One of our users Oliver has been making some pretty slick menus. He has posted them in the tips and tricks thread.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

You can have a Mater page if you want, but it really is not needed. Just duplicate one of your current pages that represents the content you want on the new page and then edit just the content to be what you want for that new page. This makes every page a master page. :)

Thanks Adam and Eric.
Eric, The video was very informative.
Adam, you mentioned that master pages could be used...that is interesting to me. I'll take a look at the help file to see if I can find out how to create them.

Below is a list of some of the sites I created in my old software. I'm going to attempt to recreate them in RSD. Wish me luck. RSD is a very new and different environment for me, but I'm excited to get started.
