What techniques can be used to preserve base html and only change content when needed? i.e) templating sort of technique

I find tedious to copy common component of page and paste it whenever I need them. What is the most practical and widely accepted method to do this?

That is what CMS are for (Wordpress, Drupal, Joombla). You still need to learn html and CSS to customize the templates, plus get familiar with the system you are going to use. Wordpress being the most popular.

Hi there,

This is accomplished by using Javascript and/or backend languages such as ruby or php. For just HTML, I think that is the only way to go.
