-----SIDE BAR----- You can start with one file and if everything goes fine, rename rest of files. -----SIDE BAR-----

To keep things organized, you can create a directory at root level called "includes" to house all of your included files. Now create a HTML document with only your copyright and navigation links. Copy everything that is between BODY tags of this document and paste it in a new file.

Save this file as nav.html or any name you like with extension .htm or .html. You need not save this file with .shtml extension. Now upload this file to your "include" directory which you created for housing SSI Includes.

To include copyright info and navigation links in a HTML document in your SITE ROOT, place following code where you want copyright info to be seen:

Now if you want to include copyright info and navigation links in a HTML document in a folder UNDER your site root, code will change to:

...and so on.

If you want to change or edit your copyright info or navigation links, just edit and upload your nav.html file and change will be reflected in all documents (using "Include code") instantly!

You can also create your website headers/footers using SSI Includes.

There are host of other cool things you can do with SSI. For more info on SSI, you can visit following sites:

4. Pick another color, with eyedropper tool, from source image. Notice proportion that color has to overall image. In your palette image, use rectangular selection (or draw rectangle) tool to create an area that has roughly same proportion to whole palette image and source color has to source image. Again, use paint bucket (or fill) tool to set new rectangle to new color.

5. Continue transferring colors, in same approximate proportions, until you have four or five palette image colors in addition to background.

6. If your imaging application is able, convert image to "web safe" colors, and save your new color palette.

7. Write down hex codes (the '#' followed by six letters or numbers) for your colors.

8. Determine relative proportion each Web page element has to overall page, and assign corresponding palette image colors to them.

Of course, you'll have to tweak your colors a little bit until you get look you want, but this "secret" method can save you hours of trial and error.
