Working with frames

-----------------------------------

I have only ever edited my site using the editor provided by my host, Godaddy.com. I want to use frames, but since the editor only allows me to edit the site in section of a page at a time, not a whole page at once, I can't figure out how to add frames to my site. Can someone tell me how do this?

Hi avalynmarie,

I wouldn't recommend using frames, for search engines optimization purpose.
Now, if that's what you want, and that you can enter some HTML code in your editor, just add this html code:

<iframe height="500" width="400" src="yourHTMLpage.html"></iframe>

hoping this helps,

What do frames have to do with SEO?

will the frames hurt my search engine optimization if it just used for a banner at the top and navigation menu on the side? That all I want to do.

ewww frames =/

well it's more difficult to index a page that uses frames, because instead of a single HTML page a search engine like google will only see the source of each individual frame.

I suppose it wont do too much damage if it's just your navigational menu  though.

Anyway I'm not really familiar with the editor provided by godaddy, though I think you're better off learning to code HTML/CSS rather then rely on a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor.

P.S. It's a good idea to wait 24 hours before double posting, people on other forums would normally complain if you don't. If you have something to add it's probably best to edit your post.
