Yuk. That's pretty awful. I come across it, and unless I was already keen enough on OpenSolaris to know what it was (in which case a site at this level might not be interesting to me) I would see 3 meaningless and lifeless blocks, close the window, and move on. (If I were sufficiently motivated to actually click on something - which I wasn't the first time I looked at it - then I would end up on pages which waste half their screen real estate on a pointless banner.) Sorry, I hate it. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
