Everyone:

I have been following this thread...

I personally believe you should try to find a balance betweent the art of a
page and the text. It greatly depends on what you are trying to communicate
to your audience. But, as far as search engines classifying the site, what
about meta-information in the <head> portion of the document. Won't that
help search engines sort the site without the use of too many words at the
bottom of the page, or have I got this wrong?  Won't the spiders use the
meta-information?

thanks for any illumination,
