I have resisted putting frames on my web site because of this:

Why do you people dislike frames?
Usability tests consistently show that users find them confusing.
Other webmasters cannot link to specific information inside your site.
Seach engine spiders cannot get past a frameset page to index your site unless you use the no frames tag in which case you risk search engine links to pages outside of your frameset.



I now have dozens of pages on Our Big Adventures and need some way to put a standard index on each one.

1. Is there an easy way to add a single format index to many pages?

2. Is there a way to update the index on all pages simultaneously?

Thanks,
David

Includes... either SSI (Server Side Includes) or FPI (Frontpage component includes)

Either will let you "include" a single source file in multiple pages, and changes to that source file will be reflected in each.

Check out this great tutorial by Kathrine on FPI -

Thanks again, bobby!

That is another chapter I skipped and have lived to regret.
