Subject: Re: Duplicate blocks of text
Thanks silverstall... that is a thought though I really hate the idea
of using images to replace text (I did this with a few "free shipping"
images, wouldn't want to have "free" used 20 times on the site now
would I?) I am thinking the better idea is to make a new page or add
the information to my FAQ then hotlink to "shipping" (using a
nofollow). The alternative would be to make a single page for shipping
info., leave the shipping text information on the index/then disallow
the page in robots.txt? =P

Webado - You are great at finding messy code, will make my sitemap and
contact pages "posts" so they end in .html then 301 over to them from
the old pages to make a 100% consistant "permalink structure", hoorah!
=P

Having a site that has no broken links, validates and has a consistant
permalink structure may not help it to rank for stuff but surely it
allows one to present content to Google in an easy to follow way,
there will no longer be any wondering if Google is getting it right!
The new thought will be, "well I am doing all I can so forget about
worrying about Google"!

Thanks again!
