SSI Guide
SSI stands for Server Side Includes. Having SSI on your website is a must have and most websites use SSI because it is an easier way to get around to things. SSI contains two main files, the top.txt & bottom.txt which contain HTML that breaks up the layout. The top.txt file contains the CSS of your file and the left menu. As for bottom.txt contains the right menu coding.
SSI is an easier way to edit your website, just say you made a new page and you didn't have SSI you'd have to go on every other page and add the link, but thanks to SSI you can update all the pages at once!
There are 2 ways to use SSI, one is the SHTML way and the other is the PHP one. Both of them work perfectly fine it just depends if your host is PHP enabled. Its purely your choice ~
PHP Includes
Firstly Make sure that your host supports PHP, if so then you can use this way of SSI.
Copy all of your CSS & left menu links and make a new page called top.txt Then copy all of the right menu links, and disclaimer etc and make a new file called bottom.txt.
Make sure all of your file extentions are .php and then add these to codes to your content.
