> This is a question about what links to include on what pages?
You might take casual advice from a noisy newsgroup, or you might take
advice from usability specialists such as Jakob Nielsen (
http://www.useit.com ) who says "less is more".
You might even take advice from me. Put links to major sections onto the
main page. Put links to subpages on the section pages. And link to the main
page from every page, and to a section page from every subpage. That's the
minimum.
Then think hard whether any addition to that is a) needed at all or b) so
important that it justifies the added complexity in maintenance, structure,
and appearance.
What you might need is not new links everywhere but a search utility, or a
site map, or both.
How are you going to handle the problems of speech-based user agents if you
put a dozens of links at the start of every page? There's no good solution,
so it's best to avoid wasting effort in creating the problem.
