You have to make a file with this included:

<html>
<head>
<title>click *here* to see me zzzzz</title>

<link rel=stylesheet href=light.css type=text/css>
</head>
<center>
<body background=layout/greygrid.gif>
<table width=355px><tr><td background=layout/top.gif height=60px></td></tr>
<tr><td background=layout/border.gif width=355px>

<!--#include file="me.txt" -->

</td></tr>
<tr><td background=layout/bottom.gif height=60px></td></tr></table>
</body></html>


and save that as .shtml

then make a .txt file and put the content in there that you watn to show on that page. Save it as me.txt

that should work.

hmm.. weird. You spelled everything properly? For example, if you saved it as Me.txt and fill in me.txt it won't work because of the capital.

i wouldn't know why it is not working...

oh yeah i see, they do allow SSI
http://help.blueyonder.co.uk/html/web/ssi.shtml

ok this might not help because i never worked with this before but you could still try. Open me.txt and choose "save as.." in the notepad menu. Then save as me.html

change your code to me.html instead of me.txt and see if that works

or .shtml could too. I dunno if this works but on the page above they have a code similar to that that's why:

<!--#include virtual="/footer.html" --> Includes another web page called footer.html, served from your home directory

that's why. they also have a test page, so maybe you could look at their sourcecode of that file to see how they did it :)

a couple things to try.

first change this...
<!--#include virtual="/me.html" -->
to this...
<!--#include virtual="me.txt" -->
and if that doesn't work, try this...
<!--#include file="me.txt" -->

you will have to upload and view this online. to view it offline, you would have to install and setup a server program on your computer.

if you are on the "basic" plan, it looks like SSI will not work for you.
