[Hidden-tech] How can I get this HTML to pull in the menu, header, footer, and sidebar files?

[Shel Horowitz]

Thanks, Rich and Mik.

I noticed that other pages on the site have the same problem, which means I
messed something up when I was fixing the home page. Just to make sure, I
went back to an Archive.org snapshot and clicked through to two of the
articles, including
https://web.archive.org/web/20160324165141/http://frugalfun.com/greener-holiday.html
<https://web.archive.org/web/20160324165141/http://frugalfun.com/greener-holiday.html>.
The sidebar menu was in place--which means there is no technical reason why
a plain old html page can't get the menu in the sidebar. But when I go in
directly to https://frugalfun.com/greener-holiday.html, the sidebar is
blank.

Php is way out of my depth. But that it's pandemic throughout the site
means it's probably just a simple tweak of the home page code for someone
who knows what they're doing--probably reinserting something I took out
that I shouldn't have. I did save a copy of the code before I started
messing around with it. And that the problem is not showing on the archived
copy means that it *is* fixable in html.

I did send the raw code for the home page Monday, subject line "Re: Little
HTML code issue" (it's the first response to my original post). If anyone
wants to take a look, I'm grateful, as always.
