Templates are tricky. Spend some time reading about DW Templates in F1 (help).

In a nutshell, Template Editable Regions are for unique content that changes from page to page.

Page Title
Meta tags
Page specific styles
Page specific content

Everything outside Editable Regions appears on all pages:

Links to site wide scripts,
Links to site wide external CSS files,
Site wide navigation,
Site wide headers
Site wide footers.

If you open your Template.dwt file and remove or alter an editable region that is already being used on child pages, child page content will disappear.

Hope this helps,

Nancy O.

Thank you for your reply,

Will the child content still change, if the change I made to my template was in the header and not in the editable region? Because the change I made to my template was adding a favicon command.

You SHOULD have an Editable Region in your <head> tags. If you don't, your Template is not properly formed.

Can we see your Template code?
