creating a standard template for dev team

I want to create a standard look and feel for my reports. I can do this from
the style perspective by editing the xml file.
But how can I create a template report that always has headers and footers
and has standard contents within them such as print date\time, page count
and a logo ?
Is there an external way of doing this or will it always have to be done in
code so that when a report is being previwed or printed, I edit the report
and add the appropriate code ?
thanks

What I ended up doing was using the designer to build my standard look and
feel (one for portrait, one for landscape and one for charts), then save
them off to the Report Designer templates folder.
