 * Hi guys. really loving wordpress. Im a newbie to all the php, css etc so i was
   wondering if someone c0uld help me out here. There is an “about” section (just
   a bunch of text about me) on my blog that I would like to incorporate within 
   my site structure . Ive been reading that “php include,” is required to do this.
   can anyone fill me in on exactly what i need to do to get this working. a step
   by step tutorial would be appreciated.

 * Could you not create a link ?
    Create a Category called ‘About’, call the link
   itself ‘me’ and then in that file, include a link back to your WP install ? Sorry
   if that’s off target ..

 * Here is the tag…which assumes that you are storing said file in the same dir 
   as the page you are calling the function:
    <?php include("filename.txt"); ?> 
   or <?php include("../filename.txt"); ?>

 * <? include(“/sidefiles/menu.php”); ?>
    Does anyone know why this doesn’t work?
