Yes the menu bar is misplaced to the right and slightly overlapping
the lower horizontal line.

These are Dublin Core meta data. Really not necessary unless you have a
site or documents you want indexed by certain engines (such as those
used by libraries).

Hi

re meta tags I know this is going to open a can of the proverbial worms but
depending on what you read and who said it when where and how the pot of
gold at the end of the rainbow is the dreaded Search Engine Placing!.

Ok page content as compared to keywords as compared to % content on page is
alleged to be the be all and end all of placing.

Similarly linking is another highly spoken of means of search engine
placing.

Dublin meta tags are also spoken highly of on some sites, the list goes on
and on.

I tend rightly or wrongly to go for every option possible. Use the meta tags
, check the content, and ensure clear concise text.

As to if it works who knows but I have three clients who are experiencing a
growth in internet business, could be a fluke or my masterfull sites(only
joking).

SEO is a minefield and I work on the principle if in doubt use it.

For an idea of the diversity of opinions it is claimed that tight correctly
formated HTML code helps search engine optimisation. There was a string on
the forum yesterday with opinions from persons cleverer than me with years
of experience and they did not agree as to the value of good coding.

So you pay your money and take your choice

cheers

What? A search engine should NEVER base a page rank on fanciful content.
There is no tighly linked relationship between what you put into any meta
tag, and what you say on the page. In other words, you can say anything you
want to say in a meta tag. This should not be used by search engines to
rank your page, and in my experience it *is* not used by them.

Dublin Core metadata tagging is great if you are using it internally.

Google doesn't care about it, though.

Yeah - lots of misinformation there, I think....

I got the same results as Malcolm N. In addition, your logo at the rests
slightly over the top line, thus revealing lighter pixel fragments. I also
looked at the page in Safari and it does the same thing. Also, the copyright
text color gets lost on the background.
