How can I wrap my forum with my site's existing global header and footer?

Ok, I now understand a bit about the templates. So is there anyway to do a server side include within the gossamer templates?
In other words, could I create my own template by copying the defaut directory and replace this:
<html>
<head>
with something like this:
<!--#include file="myheader.htm"-->
in every template file?
(I tried this but it didn't work. I'm not very familiar with perl)

You can't use SSI includes but you can achieve a similar result using a template include tag...
Code:
<%include myfile.html%>

Perfect! Thank you.
One more question. I created my own template called 'mytemplate' by copying the default folder to a new folder called 'mytemplate'.
I can see the template and edit it in the admin 'user templates' section but I don't know how to apply it to my site. I went to Setup > Defaults and set default_template_set to 'mytemplate' but it didn't change anything on the site.
