Alright, well it takes me a couple weeks to catch up on the reading with 
this stuff, but I now have a php-written page that has some measure of 
functionality to it:

http://www.merrillpjensen.com/

I think task one might be populating the dummy links, and they work, so 
woo-hoo.

With the nav links, they have to be populated such that their relative 
addresses are gonna work and herewith my next design head-scratcher.

Q1)  Am I correct to think that for my stage of the ballgame, I want to 
have a unique .css file to which all pages refer?

For ease of upload with Filezilla, I'd like to put it in the includes 
directory, which is a ways off from where I'd like to find it with my 
'about' page:

$ pwd
/home/sites/migrate/php/php1/includes
$ ls
footer.php   header.php   nav.php   sidebar.php   style.css
footer.php~  header.php~  nav.php~  sidebar.php~
$ cd ..
$ echo root document directory
root document directory
$ cd pages/
$ cd about/
$ cat index.php
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

...

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" media="screen" />

What I thought I could get away with was the preliminary hack of copying 
and pasting style.css into that folder, but it's just not gonna work 
until I get the relative-addressing figured out.

Q2)  How do I refer to a "first cousin once removed" file that is 2 up 
and one down in includes/ ?

Q3)  For lack of a better idea, I used the headers of my original 
index.php page for the one that will be in pages/about/ .  How do I 
write this small, derivative page without requiring the browser to re-do 
everything it did to load the home page?

For example, nothing is to change about headers, footers, nav, sidebar 
during this invocation.

I wonder whether there's an analog between what you do with default and 
what you do with default-ssl:

$ pwd
/etc/apache2/sites-available
$ ls
default  default~  default-ssl
$ cat default-ssl
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

	DocumentRoot /var/www
	<Directory />
		Options FollowSymLinks
		AllowOverride None
	</Directory>
	<Directory /var/www/>
		Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
		AllowOverride None
		Order allow,deny
		allow from all
	</Directory>

Notice the similarities with default.  I haven't been able to wrap my 
head around ssl yet in this environment but don't want to get farther 
away from the php of it.

CMS?  plug-ins?  Things I know only if different contexts.
