Ferrara,

looked at the code for the site - eeechhh! :-)

at nearly 30Kb, I wouldn't be surprised if you could not whittle it down to even only a quarter of that size.

I have given up hacking pages made in such ways, and just cut and paste any text, and reformat it myself now.

Points about such type code

1) it CAN have errors in it... buggered if I can understand how, but then what would you expect from a company who used to boast that their programmers were free to paint the walls and windows of their office black, spread sand on the carpet and smash the lightbulbs...

2) Things like "Style" and CSS tricks are good for huge websites and commercial update of same, but are enormous overkill for small sites - they also make the pages download MUCH slower. Vanilla HTML is also easier for beginners to get the heck of, and if you leave off javascript twiddles, that also applies. All those style thingies tempt the naive to put a different font and color in for every one... aaggghhh!

3) Remember that originally HTML was just intended to format simple text, like research papers (no equations!) with linked pages, then pictures (and sound) seemed like a good idea. The the big companies like MS and Netscape came along with incompatible ideas to the existing standards, and each other (for marketing purposes!) - a few ideas have been kept, but the result is a mess, especially after well meaning idiots insisted on promoting the idea that HTML was a "Web publisher formatting system" instead of a "text display formatting system"!

4) Use the defaults! for fonts, sizes, colours of links etc - lots of users set their browser to override most of the fancy crap anyway! :-)

5) K.I.S.S.
