best way to add 100+ pages Can't Post
I've just started setting up a new site for a client. She needs ALL 100+ pages editable with PP. The pages are identical (header & footer & text box) except they're each a bio for a person in a directory. So I need to code in the person's name as the page name and for the text box name. That way the client will be able to tell who's who to edit them later in the list and also so when running a search the person's name will be displayed as the title. I'm looking for tips on the easiest way to do this. Right now the manual process includes these steps:

* create new page with person's name as title & inside code
* ftp & chmod file
* add page in PP with matching name
* do a page update: copy/paste bio into PP, add bold and italic code

Since I'm pretty new to this I'm just wondering if there are any things I can do to simplify the process.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sheila

I just thought I'd update this and say that thanks to some input from staff I learned how to edit the page.dat file. I've successfully copy/pasted the lines and edited them to add 150 pages. Then I created all the pages, renaming them and resaving them and uploaded all at once, then CMOD'd. Basically I didn't even try to do any of this in the PP interface at all. I was able to average about a page per minute this way, including adding the unique content to each page.
