There should be no noticeable differences between our old and new
websites.  Or between our main website (http://www.wsfa.org/) and
our mirror site (http://keithlynch.net/wsfa/), which hasn't moved.

The no-frames front page has always been http://www.wsfa.org/wsfa.htm
Is this what you had bookmarked?  There should be a link to it from the
yes-frames front page, which has always been http://www.wsfa.org/index.htm
And there should also be a link going the other way.

One difference is that the new wsfa.org on Panix.com, unlike the
old wsfa.org on Hosting.com, is case sensitive.  So if you had
bookmarked http://www.wsfa.org/WSFA.HTM, please change it to
http://www.wsfa.org/wsfa.htm.  All page names should be lowercase.

To answer Ted, if you have a graphical browser such as Internet
Explorer, Netscape, Opera, or Mozilla, "frames" means your browser
window is split in two.  There should be a menu of some of our most
popular pages along the left, which should remain in place as long as
you're browsing any WSFA page in frames mode.  If you follow a link
to a non-WSFA page (we have hundreds of such links), that menu should
disappear, and should reappear when you return to a WSFA page.  At
least that's how it's supposed to work.  At lease if you start at
the top.

However, most people visiting our site don't start at the top
(http://www.wsfa.org/), but find us through Google, other search
engines, personal bookmarks, or links from various other sites.  I
don't think they see frames.  Except possibly left-over non-WSFA
frames from whatever site they started from.

My non-graphical browser, Lynx, handles frames quite differently, so
I can't be sure of how our site looks to others unless they tell me.
Thanks for everyone's feedback on the topic.
