Hello,
I see in the video that Dave is writing duplicated code thru all the html files. Is there a more efficient way to include code snippets into the files? For example all the css and js files, links navigation. I mean like a wordpress structure.
Dave is using only 3 html files, but a site with dozens of pages would be a real mess.
Very interesting module! Thanks

The Js is done pretty much the same.
The index.html is just that. It's not php like Wordpress, so you need to manually add the link tags to the head of the page. .html files do not have a database to draw from so you need the link tags. This is one of the main differences between dynamic and static.
