WHAT IS SSI?
You may have noticed as you browse this site, that our pages
end with the shtml extension instead of the more familiar
html or htm. This is because we use Server Side
Includes (SSI). Used properly, the SSI can help make your pages
more responsive and can even help make maintaining your site
an easier task.
SSI also seems to be one of the better kept secrets around.
In any web related book, they seem to get about 1 page for every
200 pages on CGI and FORMS.

directive to merge text files in with your pages. Great for those
side bar type menus.
