As I stated in my original post, it wasn't my idea. One of the other members
of the band thinks it looks more "professional". I'm getting sick of people
telling ME what looks professional in a web site and what doesn't lol
Three points to consider:
1) Netscape.
Are they "professional" enough? They sure made a lot of money.
Well, many years ago they invented frames. They carefully re-wrote their
site using frames.
Guess what?
Six months later they completely re-wrote their site *without* using frames
and they have never used frames since.
2) The telephone test.
Ring up your girlfriend and tell her where this really neat new album cover
is.
<frames>
Go to band.example.com. Look for the "songs" link. Ok, press that. Now look
for the "new song" links. You don't see it? Well, go back and make sure you
pressed the "songs" link and not the "songs archive" link. Got it now? OK,
press the "new song" link. Got it yet? See the "cover" link? You haven't got
a cover link? Oh well, it's a nice cover anyway :-(

Have a look at to band.example.com/songs/newsong/cover.html. Nice isn't it
</noframes>
This is even worse in a usenet post. The former directions still hold. The
latter link may be simply clicked on.
3) Usenet.
You will get all sorts of expert help in the usenet groups on building a
good web site..
However if you use frames the most you can expect is more of what has
already got up your nose
We, the people here to help you, do not use frames.
