Mirror type

Pages Mirrored

  • Types mirrored: Articles only (both english and spanish)

Asthetics and formatting

  • It looks: Not bad. I like the colour scheame (sp?) with the red. blues nice and all but reds a nice bold colour. Some intreasting html. Not bad but they've got something weird going on with the anchor tags. Validator doesn't seem to mind though.(Isn't that called short tags or something?) All it says basicly is that they have some issues with ALT and some things with tables.
