  I have been poking around the internet and found very little on the subject of child master pages. Here is what I want to do:
  
  I want to re-organize my website. I would like for it to be organized as follows (** indicates a folder):
  
  **Site
      -Parent.master
      -default.aspx
      -page1.aspx
      -page2.aspx
      **FolderA
          -Child1.master
          -default.aspx
          -page1.aspx
          **FolderB
              -Child2.master
              -default.aspx
              -page1.aspx            
              -page2.aspx
  ...so on and so forth.
  
  I think i have this right, but before i reorganize about 70 pages, i want to make sure this will work. I could make a seperate master page for each, but if a common element needs a tweak, i dont want to have to go and change 10-15 seperate master pages, I would like to make changes to one (the parent) that would then update all the child master pages.
  
  Is this possible in expression web 2 or am i just crazy? If it is possible how should i go about doing this.
  
  On a side note, if I ever get the ambition, I would like to enter the data into a database which would later be uploaded to multiple pages, but that will probably be about another 4 years after i graduate college and learn how to do that :P. If any one knows, would that system of organization work with a database ordeal? Just wondering...
