While the subject is vague, the purpose of SSI to insert certain functions or certain files into your web page. Nothing complicated.

For example, you could put everything "above" and "below" the content in their own files (like inc_top.ssi and inc_bot.ssi) and load them from your webpage. That way, you would only have the content in your HTML file and you would call the include files... so if you want to change the layout of the site, you only modify those two .ssi files (btw, they can be of any extention) and it will show up in all the pages that call them.

I haven't really worked with SSIs but I know some of the other functions are like getting the time that the file was last modified and basic stuff like that.
