Shoutbox

I am making a new website by using a template which i got online. Its index page (index.html) has a photo on it which says enter. Now when you click it the site opens in a new page but this aint no normal page. It is a page like the one which opens when you open shoutbox. It is a page with no menu's, address bar, status bar etc. and only has the contents. I want the link to be a normal one like if you click it then the page should load in the same page as usual. So what should i do.
Currently i'm using Microsoft Frontpage editor and I do have Macromedia dreamworks. So can you tell me what codes / options do i have to change. If anyone needs it then i can put up that page on my host or i can copy paste its html code.
Also I need to add a counter (Web hit counter, Should check how many times the page has been loaded) and if possible a feedback form (if not then i'll just put a link to my mail address )
Also i was browing through the html code and i found this.

code:

---

    <title>John Anderton's Website</title>
   
<meta NAME="description" CONTENT="Insert Description Here">
<meta NAME="keywords" CONTENT="Insert Keywords Here">

---

Whats the description and keywords for ?? Are they for the web search clients and if so i should edit them right ? As of now i have just left it alone.

man seriously, consider learning HTML before tgrying to make a website.

shows us the link code (its porbly some javascript shit to remove the menu's)

and i dont know for meta, i think its for search engines and stuff.

Does you host support cgi (php or perl etc)?
And some host come with premade CGI scripts for things like that.

Yeh web crawlers read then to get information on the site.

meta is old most search engines dont use it anymore theres only one in japan that im pretty sure still uses it. meta was killed because people could just put tons of words in that and get there rating high so search engines are "Smart" now and have weird and wonderfull ways of rating your page / indexing it.

for a hit counter on your website talk to me on msn and ill build you a pretty php one

<a onclick="homepage=openIT('home.html',800,435,null,null,'homepage');" href="home.html">
<img src="images/enter.gif" width="168" height="116" border="0" alt="Enter"> </a>

Thats the code. This site is only for me and my family so that when I will move out to study to another college I can post a few pics for them and for my college mates
Btw in that code stated in the 1st post i put the title so u'd know where that part of the code is. I know that wasnt needed there

Ok im signing in now

Have a look at this site, i recently built my first website with just that as reference (coded it in notepad alike program) Later on i got some help with CSS.

If you want scripts just google for html scripts (counter etc.)

Learn HTML dude, or use FrontPage's Show Tags feature.
