Holy Cow! What a great idea having the information listed to resemble a
windows file list.
Conspicuously missing from your website was the search box. I soon figured
out why. It's not needed due to the easy-to-follow layout. What a great
idea!

Obviously a subject of interest to me, as the website has almost 300 pages
and, as I try to make it easier to find things, I somehow always end up
with more pages.
The bigger but infrequent problem that I used to hear was that the menu
never showed up when first opening the site... that seems to have died out
as a problem. I didn't know why it didn't work for some.
Once started, finding something is next... I give the Google search
feature of the site about a 50% rating in my tests... lots better than
nothing... mostly I try to build the menu tree with some sort of logic.
You're right about not being able to see and bookmark a specific page from
the entry in the browser address, which stops at the main page
www.papajohn.org - but the mouse cursor over the icon for any of the menu
choices shows the page name at the lower left of the browser... at least
it does it on my IE6... so one could note and bookmark it if they
wanted... just not as easy as a copy/paste.
Thanks for the link. I'll take a look at it. I'm all for changing it if
it's easy enough for me to implement.

There is a problem with frames - if you get to much of PJ's excellent
site via google, you arrive on the "actual" page:
http://www.papajohn.org/MM2-DVD-ArcSoft.html
Where's the navigation?
Want to bookmark a page? You can't with frames!
There are two ways round this; there are free and simple php snippets
called "wrappers" which will "include" the frame in the side of the page,
so it looks like a frame but isn't, therefore each page can be bookmarked
AND navigation is never missing.
There's an even easier solution: This:
http://www.usc.edu/isd/it/web/resources/frameload.html
explains the problem and extremely simple solution well.
(Note, though, that you still have the bookmarking issue).
Not that this is to criticise the content or layout of PJ's site in any
way, which has helped me on numerous occasions, but just the "user
friendliness" of it!
