Depends on what line of work you are in.  We are not really in the 
website business, we are in the software business, it just so happens 
that these days we deploy our software in browser-based setups, so we

The particular templates i'm using seem to ignore the menu component and 
build their own, by pulling out of the database.

I would assume that all Joomla templates somehow pull from the same 
table (why else use Joomla, right?), but assumptions can sometimes get
