I want to use CityDesk, a desktop content management program:

http://www.fogcreek.com/CityDesk/

to manage some static HTML freesites.

However CityDesk adds a metatag to all pages which I want to get rid of.

I could publish the pages locally, do a search and replace, then upload to the servers. But it would be MUCH more efficient to do an automated search and replace on the servers.

Would it be difficult to write a server-side script that deletes the metatag from all pages, bearing in mind that these pages will published across multiple domains and multiple virtual hosts? Also please note that I'd prefer to run the script on demand rather than as a CRON job.

If this is something that you could write for me, please describe your proposed solution and provide a ballpark cost.
