mirrormere.com uses Server Side Includes extensively to avoid having to update every page of the site manually if changes are required. But what can you do if your server doesn't support Server Side Includes? Here's one tool that should make your life easier - HashInclude CoolTool slots in certain files when it finds its <preprocess> tags in HTML files you run past it.

Used properly, it'll save you time - but it is the first version, and contains some limitations, including that it won't take backups for you. Therefore, if you want to be able to slot files in again without having to spend just as long deleting the included files and adding HashIncludes' tags again, you'll need to keep a copy of the files with the <preprocess> tags still in them.

It's not the easiest way to do things, but if it's your only option then it's certainly better than nothing.
