Why not forever?  What's so critical that it needs to be protected by a
certificate?

Unless users are sending private information back in a form why bother
at all?

You get a benefactor to pay for it in return for mentioning it once a
year like the domain name registration.  Speaking of which;

Domain registration paid for this year by Vybe Networks Inc.
(http://www.VybeNetworks.com/) which now owns and operates Vex.Net.

Getting the cheapest possible cert is not much better than self signing.

By the way, JavaScript just to make something blink?  Really?  Also,
can we run the HTML through a validator?

Cheers.
