I have added a title to my web page but it never comes up after publishing my
site, when previewing my web page through frontpage my title comes up at the
top of IE in the title bar.

Did you Refresh the browser after Publishing?
 
Here's the problem:

look at View Source for http://www.nickr.f2s.com and you see:

"<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<title>Jon Railton Web Site</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="copy-of-chalkboard 010, default">
</head>"


But look at View Source for www.jonrailton.com and you see:

"<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS="100%,*" FRAMESPACING=0 FRAMEBORDER=0 BORDER=0>
<FRAME SRC="http://www.nickr.f2s.com/" SCROLLING="AUTO" NORESIZE
FRAMEBORDER=0 BORDER=0 MARGINHEIGHT=3 MARGINWIDTH=3>
<noframes>"

Note: there is NOTHING between the <head> and </head> tags... nothing at
all. No title. No anything.

Again, how are you doing this redirect?


in message Shows ok here when I flip between the two.

nominate.com who supplied me with jonrailton.com have redirected using the
cloaking method. see below:-
-----------------------------------------------------
Step 1 - Choose your web redirection method.
We offer you 2 methods of web forwarding/redirection which are explained
below. These are the ways in which we will forward the web traffic from your
domain to the URL you will enter below.

Cloak - This is the default and probably the best method for you to use. If
you are not sure choose this one. Cloaking allows the user to be forwarded on
to the new URL maintaining the domain name in the URL bar on the browser.
Advanced Users: This is a frame based cloaking including NOFRAMES tag to make
your site is compatible with both frames/non-frames browsers.

Redirect - If you choose this option then when the user types you web site
into their browser it will show http://www.yourdomain.com for a split second
before changing to the new URL you are forwarding to. Advanced Users: This is
a simple Meta-Refresh Tag.
----------------------------------------------------
I guess I will need to get intouch with them unless perhaps there is a way
of fixing this problem from my end?

Cheers

To solve the problem, you need to sign up with a web hosting server and actual apply the domain name
that you want to use to that web hosting account, then user will not have to be cloaked or
forwarded, etc. and you will be able to have your site page found in the search engines, if that is
a concern.
