Say I want to use one template for all my pages, have the template in one file, and the actual content in another. Template meaning including things like links to other parts of the site, "back" links, etc. Is this something I can do with XML, or do I need PHP or whatever for that?

Actually, I've just changed the .php file to index.php and now it works fine. Huh. Go figure. Thanks for the other pointers, anyway. ^_^

Ah. that's odd. Anyway, checked the code and couldn't see why it wasn't working for you because the code was fine, exactly the same as digicandy. Very odd.

But, glad to have helped.

Thanks again. ^_^ And hey, I've come to the conclusion that IT is 50% tech knowledge and 50% voodoo. *shrug*
