Aaron, you are quite correct that the content is in a database, which is managed by the blog's content management system. The content that I'd like to include is a blog comment thread associated with an article (the static HTML file on the website). The function used by the blog CMS to display a comment thread already exists and is several hundred lines long. So rewriting this for the SSI doesn't seem to be that efficient to me, though I'd be happy to be proved wrong. Chris
