Master Pages - yumm, all the benefits of a DWT without the mass
publishing drawback. So why not use master pages instead of Dynamic Web
Templates?
Primarily because master pages require your website to be hosted on a
web server that supports asp.net 2.0. Not all do since the asp.net 2.0
implementation for Linux based servers is limited in function and few
Linux hosts have installed it. If you would like to find out more about
running dotnet on Linux take a look at
http://go-mono.com for the open source implementation.
If you know of a commercial Linux based web host that offers Mono I
would love to know about it. Drop me a line using the contact form or
better yet post it over in the forums at
