This way, you'll be able to add some content to a few different web pages in your website and alter it by simply editing one text file. You'll be able to additionally incorporate the output of distinctive scripts so that the current date and time, the IP address of the visitor or the properties of some file appear on your site. This will allow you to incorporate some dynamic content to static webpages, making the website more inviting to your visitors and creating a professional visual appearance. It will likewise be quicker to revise this content as compared to editing each static page one by one. If you wish to use Server Side Includes in your website, the web pages that incorporate the content of any kind of file need to be with extension .shtml.
