Hi Kelly, Actually, I would contend that semantically, it does NOT hold together. You're talking about a list of links, but one which is meant to display horizontally. Semantically speaking then, this should be in a list element, and the style (display) should be handled with CSS. To get shorter pipes, you simple adjust the padding in the CSS: >#footerlinks li a { > display: block; > padding: 0 3px;/* Shorter Pipes ;) */ > text-decoration: none; > position:relative; > } I find that I almost never need to use span, b, i, br, or hr. There's almost always a better solution in a more semantically appropriate tag and the judicious application of styling. Just my two cents. In any event, I'm glad you found a solution that works better for you.
