Hi

I have not used Front Page, but most programs like that have a setting to include code as code, rather than bugger with it.

I do have a setting to insert code without it being tampered with by Front Page. Thats what I used

Thanks for your reply. You cleared up a few things for me. I eventually contacted my hosting provider with a screen shot, and got this reply :

It appears that the rule was not listed in the .htaccess file to enable the SSI. We have added the file for you. The URL does resolve to a black page, However, the file that is being referenced does not exist. Please review your scripting of the testing.shtml file.

The rule they added to .htaccess is : addhandler x-httpd-php5-cgi .shtml

When I pull up my testing.shtml page it is blank.

I have read and re read your instructions, and cannot see what I have missed. I will give it a break today, and try again from scratch tomorrow.

Try uploading the following as your testing.shtml page:

Code:

<html><head><title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<!--#include virtual="cgi-bin/readblog.cgi"-->
</body></html>

That should just give you a page with the blog on it.
If you get a message "an error has occurred executing this directive" or similar, the problem is with the script file.
If you get a blank page, take a look at the source code in your browser (on IE, simply select "source" from the "view" menu") and let me know what you get.
