Yes you need to tell Apache to use SSI, do some searches on this and 
that should get you there.  If you are hosting with a company the server 
is likely already set up to do this.

.shtml will make it work.  You can also use .html but you will have to 
chmod each parent file to 755. 

I do the latter on one of the sites I manage and it's a pain in the 
butt.  If I could start all over again I would use PHP includes instead 
which don't require chmod.  In the future if you want to use some other 
cool PHP stuff your site will already be set up.
