The easiest way to understand it is to look at Navigation, and move your pages around there. Be forewarned, sometimes using fps navigation in shared borders will make you a little looney trying to figure it out. You just gotta mess around a little. Keep in mind you can have more than one navigation bar in a shared border this will help sometimes.
Personally, I think sometimes it's simpler to just do it manually in a included page (or several), a little more work initially but much easier to sort out.

| Thank you Andrew. It helped a little. My main page is not the home page, that's why there's an Up link. My home (Index.html) has no borders, which is what I want, but my main page should. and I can't get the bar to stay on that page and athe others to. I look forward to more responses. take a look at it and you'll see what I mean.
