What he said - I use SSI all the time in my own pages, it saves a HEAP of time in administration.

It also means that you can write a template, that has an SSI banner, sidebar, copyright and then you can use PHP to generate your page content - meaning that you only have administer a very small amount of pages instead of 1000s of them.

I remember my first website which I started supporting for a company, it was written in straight html, and had 64,000 pages. Can I say PAIN IN THE ASS?! After I changed to ASP, they had 1 database, 1 template and 5 asp files. Way easier to manage. I would definitely recommend this route!
