I exported a portal template and imported it into a new template. So far so good. But apparently this process assigns new tabids to all of your pages -- fair enough. My menus were smart enough to know how to change their links automatically to match the news tabs. Unfortunately all the links that I added into my text/HTML modules are not similarly crafty. Is there some way I could fix/avoid this issue short of editing all of my links after the import?

And is there a preferred way to add links that makes them more portable? thanks.

makes sense. I just didn't know if there were some best practices to minimize these problems. I'm pretty new to DNN and am just making this up as I go along. thanks!
