Dear linklist owners (this applies just as well to TGP site owners!)

I'm just making my first free site ever (after about 8 years in the biz - LOL!) and am busy setting up the index pages with recip links -
and I'm starting to get annoyed with badly written table code for recip links! {SORRY - that's the way it is...}

If you are requesting a TEXT LINK TABLE please make sure that all link text has a tag around it specifying size and color of the font! So often I end up with your table background color being my link text color (in the body tab or CSS), and then there's just a single-color rectangle showing - then I have to drill into the code and add color tags for all fonts so that one can actually read what's in there! If I'm really lucky your script's checking for a specific line of recip code, and once I have entered the font tab (hence altered the code) I get rejected for a missing recip link...

So please: realise that not everybody has the same color scheme as your page with recip link tables -
so please make sure your table will display the way you want it to look on ANY page layout!

And since I'm at it - have a look at my first free site and give me some feedback before I start submitting it...

CHEERS!
