Yes. Given the restrictions you mention, put the footer on every
page. If you change it, do it auto with a simple Find and Replace
in any decent text editor. And structure you files in such a way
that you can easily upload to the server, keep all the html files
concerned in their own folders without other things like pics -
so you don't need to comb thru to select them out...
