Re: CVHS Robotics 589 (we need suggestions)
 

I have no idea how to use dreamweaver. I do everything in a text editor. (ok, not image manipulation, but everything else.) There's probably a way to do it, but I couldn't tell you what it is.

However, you don't necessarily have to use dreamweaver to put it in. You could just put in: <iframe href="x.html" width='x' height='x' name='x'></iframe>
note: href defines default page loaded in the frame, and width and height are in pixels.
This would probably replace everything starting with the line that contains:
<p class="style7">NEWS:</p>
to

The 'name' is what the window is called, so that you can link to it. You will need to make the links on the main page point to this frame, otherwise they will just take up the whole browser window. There are two ways to do this. In my opinion, the easiest is to say: <base target="my_iframe's name">, where "my_iframe's name" is whatever you decided to call it. (I'm not sure if this works with flash objects within a page, so you'll have to see what happens.)

To me, the biggest drawback of using an iframe is not that it limits search engines, but that it usually limits how much your site is 'fluid', meaning that it changes for different screen sizes. Many people would not agree with the last sentence, but that's what I think. My rationale is that you site is being designed for a specific audience that already exists and you do not need to work to attract with search engine listings. Also, I'm I a fan of 'liquid' design, for a couple reasons. 1) I hate side scrolling, and 2) I run 1280x1024, but often use unusual window sizes. Few static-layout sites look just as good in all sizes.
