Craig,

If I was looking to pay you to promote my 8052 product, the new format would get my vote - much better visibility of my 'hot-link'.

As a regular visitor to 8052.com, it doesn't really bother me too much which bits go where - the important part is that you stay in business/continue to enjoy growth/keep the site going.

That way, the smart folk, who answer the hard questions, keep us all moving forward. In the long run, product vendors will want to place adverts with sites where smart folk (who tend to have budgets to spend) make regular visits.

Derek.
