Hi

I think the original poster's question has already been handled, so I just wanted to add a tidbit here.

I have two SBI sites. My first one is quite ugly. I admit it. But the thing is, that was my very first site in the world. It is my learning site. It gets 2000 visits a day and brings me in solid, steady income. It's not enough to live on, but it's a good supplemental income. But get this: I do very little work on that site anymore. It just rolls on it's own, so my income stream is very nearly completely passive.

So the way the site looks doesn't matter. I can't beat my traffic off with a stick, so this thing with looks, while I do understand, really has nothing to do with a site's success.

But, SBI just came out with a template maker so each person design their site and make it look as fancy and unique as they want. I'm waiting for the "dummies" version to come out because I don't know CSS yet. I'm too lazy to learn right now.

So someday I'll upgrade my site and it will be beautiful AND I'll be making money AND getting yummy traffic, too.
