    I think the problem may go further than that.

    You need to be whiter than white, not white on white

    <font size=1 color=FFFFF>
    Code (markup):
    Don't spam the search engines, you have good content, you don't need to. Just run an honest site and you'll be fine.

    Nice catch sarahk
    This can get you banned or prevent indexing....change text color or remove.
