Bull? Is it not true that the styles download for each page? Oh, you
don't think that's a penalty.

Maybe yours is just 1kb. I tend to put all of the styles in the external
style sheet, unlike yours with all the inline styles in addition to the
<style..> block. From the site in your sig:
<div class=content>
<div style="height:120px; width:95%">
<div class="columns"
style="height:250px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
....

<span style="background: #ddbb66; font-family:serif; font-size: 10pt;
color:#777777;">
<span style="background: #cccccc;">W3C</span>
<span style="font-size: 8pt;">css</span>
</span></a>
Mine are also quite a bit more complicated than yours.

Ok then, let's talk about server processor time spent generating it for
every page. One <meta> line in the template would save all of that.
