Hi John,

I did consider adding a non-cynical bit to my response which was that I
very much doubt we'd get the addition of someone else's logo through the
web standards team appraisal. They are very strict here about the look
of all our sites.

I apologise if the owners of Israel Scholar on on the list, but Oh My
God! This is just a terribly designed site.
> Anyone else using this or something like it?
I've seen it on various blogs. It may have a place in the stats area of
the site, where you might want to actually know things like this, but
stuck on an already difficult to read front page ...
Cheers,
Richard
