Template Designs with Server-Side Includes

Karen Russo of GCC Training & Employee Development shared her experience with a template she trains faculty to use for publishing a syllabus -- in the form of multiple sections linked together in a web site that is easy to navigate -- while minimizing the time and web prowess required for the job.

The template is made to work with server-side includes, simple codes which allow for combining elements of multiple web pages (like frames, but without all of the disadvantages of frames) and can prove to be a time saver in maintaining a wide variety of sites on compatible server systems. While Karen highlighted the end-user applicability of the SSI scheme, fellow TED staff member Dennis Topel answered questions about how to make the SSIs work on the web developer's side of the job.
