Mark,

I do something similar on one of my sites......

AllWebMenus allows you to update your navigation, site wide, without having
to republish your entire NOF site. This way you can have to have a Left
Master Border Navigation scheme and drag your masterborder layout (or table)
to tile your image and just publish one page at a time and upload to your
site. AWM makes it nice as you wouldn't have to republish your entire site
to update the navigation. You can do a page at a time and upload just that
page and then change AWM to add the new page and easily upload the AWM
Menu.js file that all other previously published pages will pull from. It
doesn't matter if the MasterBorder changes on the previous pages change
because you're not republishing and uploading. If you do have to edit a
previously generated page just adjust the length of the materborder layout
and republish and load just that page to your site.
