Just wanted to add my 2 cents about mirrors.

Don't copy your sites in to multiple directories. It take a hell of a time and in case you have to change something, you have to do it to all mirrors.

Use apache rewrite modules and use one "directory" in URL as recip file variable. Variable? Yes this means you will have to use PHP with it too. If you don't know PHP it's best you just learn it as it will make your life a lot easier.

Anyway using rewrite modules and PHP you can have 1 directory per site and then use URLs to manipulate which recips will be shown on the site.

Use Google to find mroe about apache rewrite modules. I think the method is called also "URL masking"?

Anyway stop working with multiple directories as that's just obsolete. Use the superior technology that can make your life so much easier.

I personally couldn't make a site without PHP.

Another thing. If you fear of getting rejected because of having .php ending (yes, some reviewers tend to fear that ending, or any scriptiong for that matter) you can add this line to your htaccess:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

and it will run .html files as PHP files.

Work smarter, not harder
