And why is that? The site was accessable with any browser before, with or
without frames.

Not this again! It's perfectly valid and working address. Just try.

Actually, one of the reasons I started redesigning my pages was in fact
that Google didn't support them very well.

Now the main page doesn't contain frames anymore. I replaced spaces with
underlines on the file names. I tried one way, making a table which nicely
made the picture render left and text on the right, but it didn't look good
when the window wasn't full screen so I took it off.

I see. And who else are you willing to discriminate against?

HTML 4.01 strict works with all browsers.

In my experience it's rather difficult to write pages so that it is perfect
HTML, I might try to aim at such, but so far failed. Maybe I'll try to make
them valid strict HTML, but that one page will continue to have frames.

The part about pigeons ... erm, search engines ... giving a flying
you-know-what about visual presentation.

If it's any good, it won't be for long.

However, some people consider '-' easier to type than '_' and easier for
novices to find on the keyboard.
