I thought about that, but I don't think it'll work. Whenever you have
a site that has frames there's always a kind of parent frame that all
the sub frames are loaded into. The problem is that when you bookmark
a site it'll go for the parent frame, not the sub frames. Unless
there's some way to change the focus via javascript onto one of the
sub frames which ~might~ make it bookmark that particular frame.
*searches*
This might work:

....but even then it's not automatic in which case I could just go with
my original idea to have a bookmark button.
I might just wind up doing that anyway. Since I almost always use
that "portal" design for my sites I figure I might as well start
making use of all that blank space, I could start including some
custom tools and such. On the plus side if I ever wind up having to
get ad banners at least I'll have a convenient place to put em. ^_^
I'm becoming a little concerned with the traffic on my site, it seems
every time I create a new site my traffic jumps from 500 to 1,000
percent over the span of 3 to 6 months and then levels off...and
that's trying my damndest to make sure my sites WON'T show up right at
the top in search engines and with no marketing.
At some point I'm fully expecting some magazine or something will wind
up mentioning one of my sites and then that'll be it. I guess I
should talk to my host and ask them how they deal with situations like
that and what sort of costs I could be looking at.
My biggest concern right now is my sprite generator:

It's even being picked up on foreign gaming boards:
http://www.thaigaming.com/rpg-maker-community/thread-11012.html
Probably also the reason why my Alexia ratings are shooting through
the roof. I'm at 15,743 in Puerto Rico right now...guess they musta
mentioned one of my sites on one of their television stations to cause
that kind of jump. If that ever happened in a major country like
India, the US, China, etc...yeah I'm thinkin the traffic spike would
kill the server right quick.
I don't know if anyone in any of these froups has any experience with
dealing with massive web traffic spikes or not, but I figured I'd
throw it out there and see if anyone can offer some knowledge and
tips, not just for me, but anyone else who might be a similar
position. It's a topic I personally have never seen covered.
