How could he make the site/page itself look look like his own. Didn't you
guys have your name or link on every page?

It is only needed if you want a user to enable a user to save a link to a
specific framed page within a framed site. Otherwise, the link only points
to the main frame and you always go to the home page. This is usually what
webmasters want......so they don't worry about users being able to link
directly to a specific page framed on thier sites.
