Arise, Sir Rob (Site Update/An Announcement)

I've spruced up the right-hand menu somewhat after noticing it's a bit overbearing for casual users to make use of. So, it's better categorised, headings make more sense, and the links have been altered.

The main point of this post is to announce that, in a bout of insanity, I have decided to confer my newly devised, highly sought-never Brins Award to Rob's website/blog, Rob on the Net.

The reason for this is that his fairly new freewebs site shows much promise for greatness, especially since he's cleverly managed to cheat the system for more webspace (it's all legal, as he says). Plus, the Brins Award, being the thing that it is, might make his website famous.

He'll receive this exquisite award personally in due course. Meanwhile, here it is (in prototype form) for you to see:


I am delighted also to inform all visitors that, for an indefinite time, I (Brins) offer my prestigious Brins Award to ANY AND ALL web-managers/owners who request one.

For a fully-verified, official Brins award (complete with Brins' autograph and caption), simply email me with the subject title 'Brins award', and I'll reply with the award, along with all other attachments which go with it.

Yes, you can just copy the award from here and paste it to your site, but without its caption and signature, it is quite invalid. Besides, I'd appreciate your asking instead, plus I'll gladly attach your site to my links section (provided there's no outrageous material in it. That's at Brins' discretion) if you do so.

The idea of the Brins award is that it's an award for all who want it - if your site/blog doesn't get the recognition you feel it deserves, I'll be glad to kick-start your reputation with my award. (and since it's so rare, everyone'll wonder what on earth it is!)

So, apply now!
