I wish I could do tacky well

Following the example of Andrew Jones (always a good idea), I put a Christian Top 1000 button on my sidebar the other day:

They say to put one on all of your pages since it will improve your rankings. I don’t know what it is about buttons like this but they’re just tacky. Tacky can done well – it’s its own style – but I don’t know if I have what it takes to do tacky well. I do tacky all the time but it rarely looks good on me. I just can’t do it.
