Can you post the URI to a NOF-created page? It'd be interesting to see
its code.

The HTML on that page alone is ~30K, and if you're aiming at a dialup
audience, your whole budget for the page (html + images + external js +
external CSS + any other 'stuff) is 40K.

This is the code from the beginning of the first table:

<TABLE border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=78 nof=ly>
<TR valign=top align=left>
<TD width=5 height=20>
<IMG src="./clearpixel.gif" width=5 height=1 border=0></TD>

"nof=ly" is, to the best of my knowledge, nonexistant in the HTML spec.
"height=20" is invalid html. Attributes aren't quoted. And I could go
on.

But take a look at the table structure - there are cells all over the
place. That's fragile structure to view, and somewhere between difficult
and impossible to maintain or update.
