[ale] Creating a website (semi-rant)

[rfaulkner at 34thprs.org (Rich Faulkner)]

SSI is what I have used all the way.  All Linux hosting and never MS in
my 15+ years of doing this running on Apache.  

Typical builds have been mySQL w/PHP on XHTML.  Other sites (my legacy
stuff) is HTML 3.2, Javascript and Perl and very low-band in design.
All hand-coded and working from templates that I have created over
time.  

PS>  I'm not a big fan of CSS so I use that very sparingly...
