Hi!
Sorry if this is wrong list or something, but I saw this bug (if this is feature, not a bug, ignore this mail) in front page of WineHQ. Also with quick search with Google I didn't find this reported before.
On the right side, there is "Hosted by" and empty link to codeweavers (<a href="http://www.codeweavers.com/"></a>). After that there is PayPal link. Because <a href="http://www.codeweavers.com/"></a> is empty, it seems that this site is hosted by PayPal (which should come after codeweavers, I think). This could be said more clearly I think, but if you go to the front page, you'll notice it.
Anyway, have a nice day and so on...

Its not an empty link. That PayPal image is actually a submit button to a hidden form that takes you to our donation page.
The site is not hosted by PayPal, seems that having the two images right next to each other is confusing. Does this confuse anyone else? Should we simply remove the donate link?

I suggest you put something there, not necessarily in the link, and if possible, remove the null link to save a couple bytes of bandwidth (which would allocate over the users and years).
You could do something like: --- <snip> Hosted by: us, the wine development team<br />
<Paypal Donate Button> --- <snip>
Where you could replace "us, the wine-development team" with some other generic, catchy phrase, or whoever runs/owns the mailing list, digest app, or server(s). You can also put an optional comment like: "Help host the <whatever is being hosted, such as "Wine-devel mailing list"> and fund the developers by donating to paypal!"

I moved the PayPal link below the CodeWeavers link. This should avoid any future confusion.
There is not a "null" href in the code. I have no idea where you are seeing one.
