Rule of thumb

The more awards a personal Web site has, the worse the site.

Now come on, don’t leave out names…

Does it follow then, that a site with no awards is infinitely great? I know I’ve found this to be true in my case.

As far as names, just about any Geocities or Tripod site is a fine example of this rule.

And Steven, the complete lack of awards that your site has received demonstrates that robots don’t hand out awards.

Hey Adam, thanks for trying to help me out with my site layout problem. Only thing is, the code u told me to change doesn’t exist in my template!

Look for some similar code. Your Blogger template will have some blogger tags in place of some of the text that I mentioned.

The important things to change are to add a colspan=”2” and remove the <td> </td> that comes soon after.
