Oh no I tried my weird CSS idea and it's fun and works, but I just realized that Notepad++ can simply edit many files at once w the "Find in file..." search and replace funtion. Is it more reasonable to make updates via one CSS hack linking to ambiguously named HTML pages, or make updates to specifically named HTML pages but have to reupload every page on the site, potentially hundreds, every time I change my navbar?
Compromising with my hack by putting in five somewhat likely page names as standy navbar items plus a sixth of just "etc"
