Be a little bit dynamic #35

At present we need to rebuild the entire site every time we want to make a small modification to pages but not judgmentts, eg. the menu, title, footer, google analytics etc. This is obviously rubbish and we should probably instead generate a marked up html fragment for judgments and use some server side inclusion.

To clarify: I'm not suggesting doing anything like making any database queries or such here (at least not yet).

I recommend Varnish (a good caching reverse proxy) and Edge Side Includes (a W3C standard).

They are very fast and light. http://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/ESIfeatures

You can do things like cache a page, but just include the "Hello, Francis Irving" bit with an ESI.

Obviously copes well with headers/footers...

Done! New ESI versions of docs just uploading now.

I think we'll outgrow this fairly soon actually, but it's a nice, technologically-neutral way of doing templating :)
