Is this the best way to handle SSI loading ?

CSS Newbie

Hi,
I have a page at www.casajac.org/includes/testinclude.shtml
that ("simultaneously") loads three pages,
- one on the top (banner)
- one on the left (menu)
- one on the right (main stuff)

They are placed on the screen at the right places with CSS positionning.
It's working correclty - as far as I can see. (Thanks to this group).

For navigating, I have some links on the left that call up other shtml pages
and they - in turn - load up
- the same top page (banner)
- the same left page (menu)
- a different right page (new main stuff)

That seems a pretty laborious way of doing it, just to change the main
stuff.
But it's all that I can think of ... now that I've been cured of frames.

Maybe that is "tiring-for-the-server" or maybe it is a neglible workload ?
I don't know.
Is there anything smarter or faster available ?

TIA

Laborious, only at the outset. All future updates will be much easier.

Whoohoo!

Next step is server-side processing, using PHP or something to build,
but don't worry about that until your next major redesign.

Some small recommendations: on the above page, you have some styling
for the links, set in the HTML <head>. You could move those into the
stylesheet as well. Also, the paragraphs with <p><strong> ... give
those a class of their own, appropriately styled. That way, when you
decide that small bold content text is harder to read, you only need
to change one place.

Set a body background color, and get into the habit of also setting a
background wherever you set color, even if it is transparent.

Oh: font:70% Georgia; is way smaller than what us old folks care to
read. If you set your fonts to 100%, then we visitors get what we have
chosen as our default size. If you yourself like small print, then set
your own browser's default smaller.
