Sorry folks, but all you "content is king" advocates are wrong. That means you too, Andrew. When in doubt, Google it out.
? Googling on "king" and "content" yields 2,160,000 hits.
BUT ...
? Googling on "king" and "style" yields 2,430,000 hits.
So STYLE is king. The people have spoken.
And to those who suggest that my methods are neither scientific nor thorough, I offer you further proof:
? Googling on "king" and "Elvis" only yields 668,000 hits.
Now THAT's a shocker. It's probably best that he's not around to hear this. It would be like stepping on his blue suede shoes...
