This set of pages uses Front Page's 'create a web' features.
this means that the relationship between pages in the web are recorded
It enables the use of a Navigation Bar system to help people find pages within my web.
Here are the steps in creating a web
When you begin your first page, go to File New and choose Web.  FP will ask you for a location for your web.
When the web opens, make sure you got to View and choose Views Bar and Folder List. Both these vertical menu bars will be invaluable.
In the folder list, you should now be able to see your index page. This is the top page in your web. It may be that your ISP requires that your top page is called default.htm or default.html . You can rename your index page easily by right mouse clicking on it in the Folder List and choosing Rename.
When you create your second page, click on the new page icon in the menu bar and choose new page. Save your second page.
Now in the Views Bar go to Navigation and drag new page into the Navigation panel so that it is linked to your first page.
Click on Page in the Views Bar to return to your new page.
Now you can Insert a Page Banner and a Navigation Bar if you want to.
Go through the same process each time you create a new page.  I often save a page and establish the navigation before I put any content on the page.
