Can you create a master page in WEP 7.0 such that modifying it will modify all your pages. I understand about using the templates, but it seems that after creating your own template and copying it for other pages, if you want to modify the original design, you have to modify all the pages as well.

I'm not referring to a simple CSS change like font size or color--I mean, if I want to change the picture on my header and having all the other pages with that same header change the picture as well. Or adding a line. Or whatever.

Make sense? I hope. :)

I am also wondering how to this. My # of pages is getting quite high and I want to be able to make a global change to the base template without having to manually change each and every page.

Unfortunately WebEasy does not have any global change functionality at this point. Sorry.:(

I'm just starting with WE, but found a solution that worked once for me (that's the only time I tried it) to change a picture in the header of all pages: Use a generic name for the image file used in the header, eg genericheaderpic.jpg. Then, when you want to change the picture, instead of using the new filename, eg genericheaderpic2.jpg, and replacing the header image in x pages, just save your new image file as genericheaderpic.jpg, overlaying it, and rebuild your site. As I said, it worked for me. Good luck.
