Re: site w/MANY links

OK ... Shopping Centre.... mmm ... changing link quantity ...

OK. How about this.

Top left corner - Centre Announcements - "We'd like to wish all our shoppers
a Merry Christmass" etc - You will put a new message up for $20.

Left hand margin - simple text link of names of shops.

Top Body - scrolling -sideways - message area that has small 1 cm sq graphic
for each shop with max 10 word message following linked to each shop -
"SHOES ARE US: Not just shoes - investments ... PUNTERHAVEN: More chances ti
win big ..." etc - you will change a shops message once a week for free for
12 months - then $5 to change each shops message.

Body - graphic of shopping centre.
