How do I use Server Side Includes?

Overview: The Apache WWW server used by Netmar allows webmasters to include, in their webpages, information that can change with every access to the page. This information is inserted by the server "on the fly," as the page is being served. You can include such information as time and date, other HTML and text files, and output from CGI scripts.
