, my next step is to add additional pages. I know that it can be done, but my question to the gurus is: Is it better to build all of the pages in RLMP before you export it to the editor, or build to layout once and duplicate it in HTML Editor? The layout will be pretty consistent over most of the pages.

I think I might actually be catching on to how RLMP works , my next step is to add additional pages.

I would make make as many pages as possible through RLM. I would also make pages with duplicate layouts this way your setup for making quick alterations to pages that need new content.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

One of the great things about RLM is the ability to create new pages along the way. Even a year later you can load up the file in RLM for your site and create a new page. When you export it just export it to a new location and the only files you will need to move to the site are the ones that have to do with the new page(s) such as the CSS files and JS files and the HTML pages of only the pages you just created. This makes adding on to your site an awesome experience over hand moving things around on a code editor.

Ok. One more question. If I am using menu builder menus, do I have to add that code to every page, or is there a way for it to duplicate on the other pages.

The code for the head can be carried on but you may want to take a look at doing a php include right from the beginning to avoid having to re-add the menu html over and over.

Thanks. Can I include 2 MB menus in the same folder? Do I make a menu.php folder and put the horizontal and vertical menu folders inside?

You can place the php files pretty much anywhere you want, as long as you use the correct path when you refer to them in your markup.
Just as an example, if you have two menu files, menu-horizontal.php and menu-vertical.php, and you place them in a folder called php-includes, you would refer to them as:
<?php include("php-includes/menu-horizontal.php"); ?>
and
<?php include("php-includes/menu-vertical.php"); ?>
This also assumes that your main pages, as well as the php-includes folder, are located in the root folder.
