I am utterly web-stupid. I really have no idea. I muddle along with an old version of Dreamweaver and generally I just accept whatever the software will allow me to do, warts and all. My site is (apparently) frames-based though I don't know what that means. I know enough to know this is risible to 99.9% of people.
I also know that one of the single most frustrating things for people is untilted dcouments / untilted pages.
The thing is, all of my pages are saved with titles. Where it has the input box at the top entitled 'Title:' I put in "Dykeenies Project" or "Sketchbook Project" or whatever, and yet they remain "Untitled Page" and I continue to be told how bad this is.
Is there anything I am doing wrong? Is it soemthing to do with the fact that I use frames, whatever they are?
I hate the interneb, I really really do.

you need yo change the main frames file. probably index.html

I'm think he's probably editing the file that are pulled in via frames, and not the actual file creating the frame set

you might have trouble doing this with frames.
or else change the frame so that is says "Studiospooky" i would imagine they'd all have to be the same if they are all using the same frameset

"no idea what dreamweaver does."
Me neither. Thanks for the advice, I'll try that.

Ay, as gudphilip says, it's a result of your Frameset. It doesn't have a page title, but all your body content pages do:

what skt said. When Dreamweaver opens a frame set it selects one of the frames and your page options are for that page, not the frameset itself.
You can fix the issue by either switching to code view and then opening the frameset file OR click on the border between the frames once which should bring the frameset into focus and you can change the title then.

Despite my efforts to change this, for some reason I do enjoy seeing Untitled Document at the top of your pages.
- is no different than the countless artists that label piece after piece: "untitled"7point34
- not to be cynical or insulting of course, tim7point34
- I think I just like the word 'Untitled' in Helvetica. I'm a little odd heh. But agree, don't like it when everything is untitled this or thatismith
- or untitled that.ismith

frames are such a pain in the ass...
my advice is to stay away from them for your next site

It's easy to diss frames, but if you're not a coder, they're an easy solution.
Spookster - as a compromise, you might want to investigate sticking your navSection in an iFrame. That way you can get the best of both worlds.

But yeah... look at the files in notepad or something. Also - remember you need to upload them to the internets.

The first link I posted above is your frameset.
