Before we gon on,let me explaon what "server side includes" are.Server side includes (SSI's) generate parts of Web pagesdynamically on the "server side". The allow you to addcustomization features to your Web pages, such as e-mail form.Unlike other forms of dynamic content, or content that's createdon the fly, server side includes have a normal URL that's easyfor users to remember and doesn't create problems for theengines.In other works, SSI's embed special commands into an HTMLdocument that tells the server to perform specific actions when auser requests the page. The server then creates the Web page onthe fly by merging files or inserting requested information.How might you use SSI's on your Web page? Let's say you want otadd a form to your Web site for your users to complete to sign upfor your newsletter. You could create the form using SSI's.For more information on creating SSI's with FrontPage, visit:http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage/using/default.htm and click onFrontPage Server Extensions.Dave Barry, who recently created two major sections of the DellWeb site using FrontPage, manages 40 to 50 Web sites atSmartCertify, and he easily moves back and forth between thosesites using FTP.
