Hi Claire - keep in mind that most client-side solutions (such as using
JavaScript to dynamically pull in the data) will be terrible for SEO. =
Search
engines can't interpret JavaScript, so won't be able to see any of the
dynamic text. If your main page content is being populated this way, =
search
engines will hate you!

You stipulated "HTML only", but I suspect you'd be better off looking at =
a
server-side solution (such as SSI includes, simple ASP/PHP templating, =
etc).

Cheers, Ben
