along with making sure i use a validator. I discovered that my meta tags were after the tag!!!
details, details

I took a look aty some search engines....excite didnt find me now with the meta tags (bummer)
netscape found me but the frames listing was still there. I'll have to see if it changes on its own

Im going to have to submit the site to some engines...and that should help too.

I guess i should still decide if i want to keep the frames or redo the website. There are pros and cons. I kinda like the sidebar. The problem is that it does take up some screen space. That can be a too much if ppl are already using explorer and have a piece gone with the favorites or search strip.

Arent webpages challenging?? Yes there are. Especially since this is my first one and have to fumble through everything.

Thanks for all of your help!!

I'm off to read!
