shtml is the extension used to state that you are using SSI (server side includes) in your web page. SSI's are directives placed into your HTML which allow dynamic content without using a CGI program. If you wanted to add the current date to your website you could use SSI and then your new url would end in shtm. SSI is also great to help maintain your site. Like you creat a menu and use SSI so whenever you update the menu you only have to make changes on one document and it chages on every page. Here is a neat little tutorial if you want to learn more. http://bignosebird.com/ssi.shtml

A Web Site with the suffix of ".shtml" (rather than usual ".htm") indicates a file that includes some information that will be added "on the fly" by the server before it is sent to you. A typical use is to include a "Last Modified" date at the bottom of the page.
