7 October 1998 3 Hours My dad and I looked over the STRAUB design company web page.  We decided it wasn't what we wanted, we wanted frames, not shared borders.  We started completely over, using frames instead of borders.  Borders were wrong because they were not changeable from page to page, whereas frames are.  We looked frames up in a Front Page 98 (© Microsoft Corporation) manual, and learned how to build frames.  We also decided which backgrounds to use, learned how to build a background, and how to edit one.  Also revised the STRAUB design company web page.
