Names in browser - possible to hide?

[Brenda]

I am in the process of redoing a website for a girlfriend, and am nearing
completion, thanks to Ron and Trevor on this list.

http://www.brickwallbuster.com/index.htm

I realize I still need to learn how to create and use an external CSS, but
right now, I'm trying to get her website up and running as fast as I can. I
will double back after I have the pages up, and do some tweaking.

Question: Is there a way to not show the name of the page in the browser?
For example, I have her pages named index.htm - surrogate.htm - surname.htm,
etc. Is it possible to somehow just have the name www.brickwallbuster.com
appear in the address, without showing each page name as you flip through
the website?

Thank you,
Brenda

That can be done by using a frame page as your home page and displaying the other pages in the frame.
However, it kills your site as far as search engines. go

Thank you, Steve. I'll forget that idea.

Is there anything I can do (that I'm not doing) to help get a good/better
position in search engines?

Make sure you add a robots.txt file to the root of your web.

Also switch to code view and add this following meta tag to the head section of "every" page:

<meta name="ROBOTS" content="index,follow">


That should do it
fwiw, I used to live ( grew up ) in Steuben County.

Steve,

Thank you EVER so much. (If you want some free research done, let me know.
I'm sure Susan would do it for you.) I'm always amazed at what a small
world we really live in.

You're welcome.

Research would be a bit tough probably.
I was born in Chemung county ( Elmira )
Was adopted at 3. ( do know my birth name though )
Moved to Steuben county ( Bath ) when I was 11.
