If you are that new to DW, I would start with one page, never mind 3 frames.
Start simple with one page, put some content, make it look good, give it a
title and take it from there.
If you insist on frames but don't know frames work, you'll set yourself up
for a lot of grief.
There is always the help files and the manuals.

If you are new to DW and before you go any further with regards to using
frames - have a read of this:
http://apptools.com/rants/framesevil.php

Unless you have a specific reason to use frames I wouldn't use them.

Thank you Nadia and Marianne...
You're both right, this could be a complete disaster!
I didn?t realize how many problems could come from using frames?!!!!

The link you supplied Nadia?http://apptools.com/rants/framesevil.php
did a great job of swaying me away from them! Which is a good thing

It?s not that I really wanted to use them? I just thought it made for a
cleaner looking page.?.

So I guess the easiest solution, if I want to keep the name/ logo at the top,
the links to the left and content in the middle? is to use a table format?

Thanks again for the heads up!!

Michele
