Will Google index a Frontpage template site design?

The title makes this sound like a Google question, please be patient. I
have a web site based on a standard Frontpage 2002 template. The links
are all built automatically by Frontpage, as pages are added. I am a
drag-and-dropper, my HTML skills are limited, but from the published
page source, the links appear to be Javascript.

Google has apparently indexed my site, but has only searched the home
page. At least a Google search (currently) only shows hits from the main
page.

Is it possible/likely that the GoogleBot could not find the rest of the
site because I had no hyperlinks to the rest of the site from the
homepage when the Bot went through? If so, I will add manual hyperlinks
to the rest of the site manually (I have some now).

Site is http://www.serenitycomputing.com

Thanks in advance.

The links are not JavaScript, but they do use JavaScript rollovers.
Google will have no problems following them.
You need to check your keywords meta tag - <meta http-equiv="keywords"
should be <meta name="keywords"
though Google and most other search engines will not use the keywords
anyway.
 
The Google spider follows the links you have on a page to index subsequent
pages.
Google ignores javascript.

Thanks for the Info and the tip, (name= is fixed) perhaps the whole site
got indexed but the data has not made its way into the database Google
Australia is accessing.

Thanks again, Phil S.
