Do you find it better to use a 'single' page and then bring in content, ie.
index.asp?page=home
index.asp?page=art
Or to use individual pages ie.
home.asp
art.asp
Is there any difference in speed? Even if you got like a few 1000 lines or so? Does it load the whole files or just that part of the files the url calles for?
I like the idea of the one page because it can save the uploading pain and having to deal with a crap load of files. But i

"But I" . . . what? Sounds like your trialed off
I have considered this for my own sites before. At the time I did alot of reasearch and concluded that its better to just have an inc_header and inc_footer on every page instead of including every page into a header and footer.

Ditto! And if the pages are similar in data/design I'd use a database to keep page contents and use ASP to render it with N templates (template info in DB). If not, I use Nathan's way.

My feelings exactly. All the common parts should be reused whenever possible. On my site I reuse both top and bottom and also most of my lef side Javascript menus. But content goes into its own page. Much easier to handle, I think.

all this is true, but one other thing i guess i will point out incase someone does not know, if you use include files and do something like this...
If strPage="config" Then
%>
<!-- #include file="../config/config.asp" -->
<%
ElseIf strPage="functions" Then
%>
<!-- #include file="../config/inc_functions.asp" -->
<%
ElseIf strPage="top" Then
%>
<!-- #include file="../config/inc_top.asp" -->
<%
Else
%>
<!-- #include file="../config/inc_footer.asp" -->
<%
End If
%>
The above code will load all 4 of the include files into the page, then it will process the asp page and only output which if statement is used. Hopefully this makes since on why not to use include files this way.

so if you do decide to use page.asp?link=whatever, what would be the best way to implement it?

well you can do it that way, or just do it like...
If strPage="config" Then
%>
but the html code here for this page
<%
ElseIf strPage="functions" Then
%>
but the html code here for this page
<%
ElseIf strPage="top" Then
%>
but the html code here for this page
<%
Else
%>
but the html code here for this page
<%
End If
%>
the only reason i would see to do it this way is that you only have one file to upload or download, other then that, its just bad programming i think.

I would do it like this
select case resuest.querystring("link")
case "default"
call default
case "somthing else"
call somthing else
case "another something"
call another something
case else
call defualt
end select
