I did 14 years ago, it helps. When I mentioned the 'making copies' bit, I've got a perl script (rather, a web application right now), that will let me upload the template, the content, asks me to type in the relevant bits of text, automatically puts banners and text links in the proper places, generates thumbnails off the content I uploaded, writes the whole bunch to disk in the proper spot, and makes 3 copies of every site.

Also automatically picks the recips to put on it based on what category I said it should be in, and so on.

Be careful though, writing good perl is hard And if you learn perl, or any other programming language, soon every problem you encounter will look like it needs more code to solve it, so the danger of spending 5 hours coding to fix a problem that would otherwise take 2 hours to take care of is very real
