Years ago, I created my first sites with Web Assistant for Word. I had
no idea back then.

It isn't something you see everyday though. I wonder why it's there at
all.

Home page;

<p class="style27"><SPAN lang="EN-GB">&nbsp;</SPAN><SPAN
lang="EN-GB">In 2008 we have worked hard to attract sponsorship that
will guarantee that every single penny you raise in sponsorship goes
toward looking after our patients and their families.&nbsp; We have
had fantastic support from many local companies - see <a
href="PAGES/supporters.html">Our Supporters</a> page to see </SPAN>a
list of the companies sponsoring us this year. </p>
<p class="style27"><SPAN lang="EN-GB">If you live out of our
area (unless of course you fancy a visit to Crewe), then contact your
local hospice because they may well be creating a walk in
2008</SPAN></p>
<!-- InstanceEndEditable --></td>


I'm wondering if this isn't confusing Google the same way it confuses
me.

Ahhh - this is not my site. You are looking at http://www.midnightwalk.co.uk/
not http://www.midnightwalk.org

And I would agree with you, it's not good code, but also, Google
doesn't seem too mind as they actually come up #1 when looking for
'midnight walk'
