I have used one CSS file to define link colors, decoration, etc. for multiple pages.
Can someone give me a quick example of using CSS to put the same img and text layout at the top of each page?
You have to link it to each page. I will show you what I did for my internship last year. Ignore that there are different photos in the header. The clientel wanted his page to be different but the same at the same time not look boring. But take a look at the Support Marketing Service words which is actually an image..I made it in photoshop. The div name is smsname . That is in it own div tag on every singe page. This is the link http://www.supportmarketingservices.com/
I will give you the code I ue for the company page, so that you can see how the code work, how I set up the header, sidebar, footer, and etc.

/* Tips for sidebar1:
1. since we are working in percentages, it's best not to use padding on the sidebar. It will be added to the width for standards compliant browsers creating an unknown actual width.
2. Space between the side of the div and the elements within it can be created by placing a left and right margin on those elements as seen in the ".twoColLiqLtHdr #sidebar1 p" rule.
3. Since Explorer calculates widths after the parent element is rendered, you may occasionally run into unexplained bugs with percentage-based columns. If you need more predictable results, you may choose to change to pixel sized columns.

padding: 0; /* top and bottom padding create visual space within this div */
}
/* Tips for mainContent:
1. the space between the mainContent and sidebar1 is created with the left margin on the mainContent div. No matter how much content the sidebar1 div contains, the column space will remain. You can remove this left margin if you want the #mainContent div's text to fill the #sidebar1 space when the content in #sidebar1 ends.
2. to avoid float drop at a supported minimum 800 x 600 resolution, elements within the mainContent div should be 430px or smaller (this includes images).
3. in the Internet Explorer Conditional Comment below, the zoom property is used to give the mainContent "hasLayout." This avoids several IE-specific bugs.
