That's good. I don't! I just know it bugs me when the folks who use frames
get it worng. I hadn't intended my comments as a direct attack on you or
your new page style - my apologies if it came across that way. In fact,
I *like* the look of your pages, both forms. I just dislike frames.

<grin> I "solved" that by just using text links.

I understand that need. Since getting my digital camera a couple of years
ago, I've put up far too many pages of pointless pictures of trees (that's
the way some friends have described them!). My solution was a truly awful,
geeky one: I wrote some C programs that take simplified descriptions and
emit the HTML for the pages (plus making the thumbnails, and finding
the file sizes). If I change my navigation structure, I have to go edit
the C source files, recompile, and then go rebuild all of my pages from
the unchanged description files.
I've heard there is something called "server side includes" that sounds
like it ought to solve this problem, but I don't know any more than that.
