Hello again -

Sorry for another basics question; I'm pretty good with HTML 3.2 and a
text editor but beyond that, well, I'm pretty green.

One of my sites (http://www.movieville.com/movieville/) reviews movie
theaters, and soon, movies as well.  The header nagivation stuff is fairly
large and I'm afraid I'll start having traffic and file quota problems if
I put it in every single file.  I explored various database-backed
solutions and they all seemed to be both overkill and headache inducing. 
I'm thinking now that individual html files for each review, using SSI to
put the headers in from one single text file, may be the answer for an
optimum of simplicity combined with disk space savings.

My questions:

Does this sort of SSI usage have much of a CPU toll?

Are there simpler, cleaner ways of doing this I may not have discovered,
with javascript or somesuch?

Are the SSI implementations on BestWWWD close enough to Apache that should
I ever feel the need to leave best it won't be a huge nightmare to rewrite
stuff?

And finally, is it acceptable to make one whole subdirectory SSI-assumed
using .bhtaccess, since every file in it would have that SSI header trick
(except my dummy index.html file to cut down on snooping)?  The FAQs say
one thing at one point and something else on another page.  If so, is that
something that's also portable to standard Apache implementations should I
ever want to leave best?

Thanks,

Otto
