Nina: 3 quick suggestions if you want to make it easier for spiders to find new pages. 1) replace the javascript menu with a CSS list-based one 2) create an xml sitemap and submit it to google 3) create a robots.txt and add the location of the sitemap in there for auto discovery. Hope this helps.

OMG. Whats a jarvascript menu? and xml sitemap and how on eart to I create a robts.txt thingy jig??????
