It is bad but nothing like my Publisher example. For one thing it
displays on something other than IE! And the code is recognizable
markup! My example all that 16442 lines of code, 626 KB file does is:

Layout a half dozen images

2 lists of 8 links (one formated as a menu)

a logo as I guess, WordArt object (MS proprietary vector art) that is so
esthetically unpleasing that one must use IE to appreciate

a slogan line 'for friends, sport & show' in the same WordArt technique

and a small block of copyright and credits text!

Here is my personal site for the same breed of dogs. I haven't finished
or moved to its own domain yet, but soon...
