What next? Feng Shui for websites?
Shunya reports on a book about Vaastu Shastra for websites:
Now we have a book which claims to use the principles of Vastu Sahstra [sic] to help design websites. “Earth is the layout, fire is the colour, air is the HTML, space is name of the Web site, and water is the font and graphics,” says Narang, adding that each must be chosen carefully and strike a balance with the other.
Narang, a vaastu expert who has spent four years analysing around 500 sites, says a Web site that is not designed according to vaastu rules will have few hits will negatively affect the business. Looking at Narang’s website and then considering the fact that she left out content as one of the five elements, I really wonder how well she has understood the 500 websites she studied.
Nishant says this is what happens when website builders start calling themselves architects and designers.

building on shaky ground?
The so called webvastu does not even validate..
validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webvastu.com%2F
This is akin to building a vastu compliant house that does not have a door.
The tragedy of things is, there are enough "architects" and "designers" who will put up a "vastu compliant" button on their site from next month (now it is ashaDa, heh heh).
Hmm. perhaps I should go ahead and create one - www.lucazappa.com/brilliantMaker/buttonImage.php just for the laughs
