Cheryl:

Here's the rub. The #include virtual= syntax will only allow you to
include files from the same 'server'. Your pages in the genealogy_html
directory are located in a different virtual server from those in the
misc_html directory. So, even though you have only one account (userID &
password), you wind up with sites on several virtual
servers. Unfortunately, the SSI syntax treats a virtual server the same as
if it were a real server.

Therefore, you can use #include virtual= to imbed files from another user's
genealogy_html directory into your pages in your own genealogy_html
directory. You cannot #include files across your own xxxx_html directories.

It would have been a good idea to put your standard header & footer files
in your misc_html directory and then imbed them in pages in both the
genealogy_html and family_html directories -- but it just doesn't work that
way.

So, for your css files, you can put them into your misc_html directory, but
you're going to have to reference them in your pages using a full URL
reference like this:

<.link rel=stylesheet
href="http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~myaccount/mycss.css"; type="text/css">

I'll have to do some research on the new @import rule to see whether it can
be used in a similar manner.
