Linking

....to external files

[kodaks]

I have a copyright notice at the bottom of each page on my site.

I would like to be able to change the copyright notice when I please, without having to edit all of the pages. I am wondering if there a way that I can link to an external file to each page, so that way I would only have to edit the external file.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

What you are looking for is called Server Side Includes (SSI), and its implementation depends on your server. You can use SSIs with ASP, PHP, etc.

SSIs are a must for web site maintenance.

Thanks, defanjos! What is the easiest way to get started in SSI?

[defanjos]

For example, if you are using ASP (active server pages) on your site, do a search (on any search engine) for "server side includes asp". If you are using PHP, try "server side includes php".

That should get you started.

Actually including files with PHP and ASP are fairly easy, I thought it would be hard when I first heard of it but it's actually pretty straight-forward, it sounds more complicated hehe :)

Good luck!

Thanks, I will look into it!
