#our menu should be template [section]
...then just like other pages: dup pages; edit template if needed - will be updated everywhere
...maybe better to just use headers with links instead of menu - more flexible? can assign CSS that makes link disabled/look selected for certain pages? or can with Uber [looks like]??
