For .htm pages I use Dynamic Web Templates (DWT). Where the navigation
changes, use a modified template, or insert the changeable navigation in an
editable area using a FrontPage include file.
IMO using SSI for static pages is a waste of server resources, and adds a
few milliseconds to the download time. Additionally, using the DWT, you get
to see the complete page in FP's Design/Normal view, as you build it.
