You could make variations of the files easy enough and just save as a slightly different file name like amateur01-3col.txt, amateur01-5col.txt, or different colors, fonts, etc...

I'm not sure about this, but can you have 2 seperate ssi calls on a single page? If you could you could do files like amateur01-left, amateur01-right, and then put your text in between those using a table.

Of course the leg work setting all that up is a pita, but once they're done, they're done.

Sure, I use two SSI's on quite a few of my AVS sites, one for the recip table, one for a blurb advertising the benefits of the AVS.

That's I like about SSI. Once all the reicp tables are made I never have to "fiddle" with them any more. Doing recip tables manually for every site took me forrreeevvvveerrrrrrrrr.
