oops, you snuck one in on me .... you mean have the logo etc, in the identical place on each page?
If so, just open the page that you have set up, and save it several times with different names...contact.html, gallery.html, etc. then just point your links to em

Like joe said, DW is pretty complex. If its just for your personal site, Id recommend looking into a CMS, like Nuke Evolution, or Joomla.

open your production manager....and when you see the cutter that you installed, right click it and delete it, it will auto pop up a device window. At the bottom of the window, you have to select VINYL CUTTER, and then choose Roland on the left, and you will see PNC-1000 in the list on the right.

In flexi the copam driver is the digi-om-60 maybe the same *shrug*

On the scales etc, select the entire image, and ungroup it...then select the tiny pieces and delete them, basically making it more solid than cut up. The more you solid you make it, the easier it will be to cut/weed.

give me a few and ill play with it...how do you want to do the large E and S in the shield? just a cutout or seperate color or what?
-
How many colors is he wantn? And TBH..that logo would be easier and cleaner to do, by just outlining the shield, and use an old english font and just redo it.

Not sure if this has been posted or not, but I thought I would share it. My dad found the swatch files on oracal, and I just got them put into illy cs4, and I personally think its a must have if you use oracal. The swatches are separated by vinyl model (eg. 651, 751, etc.) I personally installed them all, just to have them. Basically its like having the oracal color chart right there in your program, but also, when you are ready to cut it, it shows the color and number of that color (eg. Green 061). Best of all...they are free from oracal Grab em from here:
http://www.oracal.com/knowledge/oracolor.asp
Note that I only use Illy to design, so for the other software you will have to locate your swatch library directory. But for Illy (and this is for CS4...earlier versions the directory is slightly different, but its still the swatch library directory.)
First go to the link above and click the link to the software that you use, and download the file.
Unzip the file to somewhere convenient (i like the desktop )
Then you will see all of the different .AI files for the different models of vinyl. (if you only use 651, you may only want to put the 651 file in, up to you.)
Select all of the .AI files you want to install, and copy them (control+c)
Now you have to navigate to your Illy swatch directory:
For CS4 the directory is C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Illustrator CS4Presetsen_USSwatches
Once in that directory, create a new folder and name it ORACAL or whatever you prefer.
Open that new folder and paste the .AI files into it (control+v)
Now fire up illy, and click WINDOW/SWATCHES your color swatch will pop out on the right...click the button at the top of that window that has the down arrow and 4 horizontal lines beside it...it will drop down a menu.
In that menu, go down to OPEN SWATCH LIBRARY and the sub menu will show, you should see your new ORACAL folder there, in that menu are the oracal color swatches, select the one you want to use, and voila
I attached a screenshot of my illy with the 651 swatch out just to show ya.
Hope this helps somebody
Props to Alien (My Fatha) for finding the swatch files

I have a flock of baby penguins......
you`re a trip dazzel lol.
I didnt vectorize that one, tlzimmerman did, I just took his and took the circle off of the jacket. If it had been a white circle on top of the black, you could have just ungrouped it, and selected it alone, and deleted it, but it was a cutout on this one. So you have to put a `patch` over the cutout. Make sure its the same color, and just draw a shape (doesnt matter which) over the cutout and just make sure it covers the cutout but doesn`t hang over any of the other edges, then select the new shape and the black, and merge
