Changing Index on old free sites

Licker, I've seen you write about SSI several times...it's sounds very very logical yet, I still haven't done it...can you answer this question:

How do you style your table with the SSI include? I currently use a <div id="reciptable"> and style it that way. Is this still done the same way if I were to insert the recip SSI within that div?

I don't style the tables. I just put the include on the page where I want the table to be and since the tables are basic HTML saved as a .txt file they just show up as is. Here's an example:

<td align="center" colspan="2">
<!--#include virtual="/recips/toys1.txt" -->
</td>

Just remember there is a space after .txt before the two dashes. That really fucked me up for a while

In this way, an SSI is like a simple copy/paste.

Yep, and on the first mirror all I have to do is change the "1" in toys1.txt to a 2 and I have a new recip table there

I just make a class on my stylesheet and on the recip table just put the style in it. table class="" that way the same category tables can be used and fit into the template being used.
