One template for many entries in one weblog?

    I have a weblog with about 15 entries in it. I want to display each entry on a separate page, and it seems that it would be counterproductive to have to create a template for each of the entries (ex. what if I have 250 entries in a weblog and want each of them to have its own page? it would take forever to build this).

    Is there a way for me to use one template and have multiple, separate pages, each displaying a single entry?

    Thanks!

    No, of course you don’t need one template per entry. Have you taken a look at the default templates that come with EE? they handle this quite well, actually. Also, this series might be interesting to you: http://expressionengine.com/blog/article_list/category/importance_of_semantics/

    I must be missing something. So I don’t need a default template that lists all my content that I want divided up into weeks?

    I can just create one template and use that?

    I attempted to start asking it here, but I read the article you linked and I am sure I missed something, can you provide any additional information?

    See it’s displaying the first entry into the system that is tagged for that weblog above the ideal place to link to all the blogs.

    Then when you click on the first or second lecture the weblog shows up and the main navigation.  I don’t want the main navigation to show up on the same page of the content.  Can someone point to the answer or just provide me the link where to look

    here is the page: http://www.middlestone.com/index.php/middleSTONE-v1-1/education_weeks/


    Here is the code


    +++++++++++++++++


    <table border=“1”>
    {exp:weblog:categories weblog="education" style="linear"}
    <tr>
    <td>

    {category_name}</a>

    {if category_description}
    {category_description}
    {/if}
    </td>
    <td>
    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="education" category="{category_id}” }
    {title}
    {overview}
    Lecture
    {/exp:weblog:entries}

    </td>
    </tr>
    {/exp:weblog:categories}
    </table>
    +++++++++++++++++++++++
