I'm aware of that. I purposely used shtml instead of using htaccess
setting. Because I wanted to show you the difference view that I
was getting. In order to do that I needed the SSI code within the
file with html extension to not to executed.

I thought I mentioned that, but it's fine the problem is fixed.

You are and have been doing just fine! I just like other to ask
questions and tell me what you like, so that I know what I need to
cover and stuff instead of explaining every single things you probably
know most of the stuff anyway.

I guess it's my habit to create options to choose from even I wasn't
asked to do so. Like,,,, you ask me to do something and I'll do
what you asked me to do and I'll also work on some other options
if there is any. It's just that's how I am. I guess that's how I worked.

Please if you feel any pressure let me know. I will slow down.
If there is any question please feel free to ask. I'll do my best to
figure it out!

Having clean clutterless template makes easier to work on the site.
Especially after checking some of the existent files, it seems like there
are some fragment of the tags and some wired stuff. It takes long time
to check every single files for the clutter and fix them one by one.
Instead we can have clean template and copy paste the content in
where it suppost be.

Search works, but sometime because of the contents are different
in each page, in some situation we have to goin every page to fix
stuff.

So, basiclly better to make sure thinsg are working properly as
soon as possible.

Yes, there are some stuff that we still have to change by hand.
