God, can people REALLY not see what I'm talking about? I'm not trying to say you can't go from your "vision" I said the way you are going about doing so is not proper and will lead you to being discouraged once you find out that it isn't working correctly.
When did I ever say the site looked like garbage and look like crap? I was simply stating that frames were the worst way of going about web development, because they REALLY don't speed it up, if anything they slow down your pages. Think, you have one page with all of your things, header, footer, menu, etc. OR you can use a frame and have your header, footer, etc. rendered separately. Which one do you REALLY think will go slower? Loading 3 pages.
I don't think your site looks like garbage, it's better than what most people put out, again I just am saying your way of thinking on web development is illogical.
I can tell you right now, if you're going to get upset when people criticize your site (yes, people will do it even if you DON'T ASK them to), you're in the wrong business. Web development is about listening to what people want. You don't have to change your vision, or your layout, you just need to trust people who have been in your shoes.
Here's the way I found out that CSS DIV's are ultimately the best way of doing soemthing:
1. I started with NO formatting at all. A basic page with a few links. People hated it, criticized it, made me give up.
2. I moved on to frames. Frames went better than no formatting, but people complained when they had different screen sizes and browsers. Didn't give up this time, moved to step 3.
3. Started using tables to design my sites. Tables are GREAT for people who are starting out, but after a while you want to do something more design-wise that tables just won't permit. People liked tables, but I myself thought they were too limited. Moved to step 4.
4. Used CSS DIV tags. These allowed me to literally do whatever I wanted, not many restrictions, great in every way, but a lot complex.
Look past your view as me trying to give you grief, and actually look at what people are saying to you. Blackfox gave the best possible view on things. Not EVERYONE will like your site, that's one thing in web development you will have to face, and that is that you can never please everyone. My point was exactly his, look at the way us authors look at you. I personally wouldn't host on a site with frames, simply because of the reasons I stated previously. HOWEVER, if you'd be doing a table site or even a CSS DIV site, I would probably want to publish with you.
Look past your stubbornness and actually take into account what people are saying. If you're going to be close-minded about things, you're going to be in for a lot of heartache. Again, I'm not trying to be malicious because I was in the same position you were in quite a few years ago, if you listen to what people have to say you're going to find out that you can indeed make your sites better.
