Ray,

Did you take a look at their 'limitations' ?

They are so 'minimalist' that my front page (even as simple as it is),
does not conform to their specs because it breaks both of these limits.

CSS is not allowed.

Keyword lists in the HTML HEAD, or any other kind of "search optimizing"
are not allowed.

--- clipped from the <head> my front page --

<style type="text/css">

<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="graphical browser WWW DOS MSDOS DOS MS-DOS
 download freeware shareware Arachne DRDOS DR-DOS OpenDos HTML 4.0 packet
 driver wattcp windoze linux">

IMO,

They are being totally unrealistic.

BTW,

My front page along with all other pages on my site _do_ meet the
criteria of the 'All browser campiagn' whose banner and link are on
my front page.

In addition....

My pages also pass muster via the w3c HTML and CSS validation checks.
