Re: Similar sites

Thank you everyone for your input on this!  I have received some valuable info 
that I can use for this site as well as any other that might have this issue.

By the way, Charles, I used frames because my client says she is not interested 
in using seach engines to promote her site.  She says she has some sort of 
legal directories that she will register these with.  Is there any other 
reason, other than some search engines not listing your site (and maybe older 
browsers not supporting them), to avoid using frames in site design?

Thanks again,
dale
