Thanks, Alan - I probably should admit to being totally complacent! I haven't gone back to validate those pages for years (they 'appear' to work) and am chagrined to find so many errors! I have my work cut out for me - and honestly appreciate the time you've taken to provide feedback. Thank you VERY much! Also, thanks to everyone who responded to share php "header/footer include' logic with me. I believe the answer to my 'speed' issue is php caching, and I'm a happy camper now. I think. :-) John B.

(http://www.miscelpage.com, > http://www.boundarycountyfire.com, http://www.curleycreek.com, > http://www.theonlinewriter.com, etc. etc., etc) One thing to watch - it's not strictly a PHP problem but it may influence the speed of your pages - is that your pages aren't valid html, see the results from the validator below:- http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.boundarycountyfire.com&ch arset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.miscelpage.com&charset=%2 8detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theonlinewriter.com%2F&ch arset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 Best to get these fixed before you go much further.
