Currently in FrontPage I use SSI (Server Side Includes) This allows me to edit a TOP page or a BOTTOM page & it will change on ALL my pages. (Tops & Bottoms)

I would like to learn how to do this within FP.
I know a wee little bit about shared borders, but not much.
For example, if you visit www.cityoflakestation.com you will see the navigation on the left was created with FP & shared borders.
I recreated it at www.gcr.spiralpages.com & used ssi. My results are almost the same.
I need to learn this, I will be using several template in the near future & think I will be much better off getting away from my dependancy on ssi.

Please keep the steps as simple to follow as possible. I am legally blind & complicated instructions frustrate me.

I appreciate the help, Thank You
