I'm going to begin by organizing the two frames which are both children of the master window. Since the two frames stack on top of each other, the easiest geometry manager to use here would be the Pack Manager. We'll continue editing the code from the point we left off at the end of the last video. The place the header and content frame into my window using the Pack Manager, I'll call self.frame_header and then .pack, and I'll do the same down here for the content frame, self.frame_content.pack.
