The SSI Tag

Here is the SSI tag that will run the CGI program:

<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/programfile.cgi"-->

Replace "/cgi-bin/programfile.cgi" with the location and name of the CGI program on your server.

Use the SSI tag instead of the JavaScript syndication code.

On many servers, pages with SSI need to have file names with the .shtml extension. Your server may be different. Contact your hosting company if in doubt.

For additional information about SSI, see the "Server Side Includes" article linked from http://willmaster.com/possibilities/archives/

When you've installed the CGI program and use the SSI tag in lieu of the JavaScript syndication code, search engine spiders can index your syndicated content as if it was static content.
