Don't make the mistake that my award is just anther shameless attempts to promote my site. No! My award means something when you win it, because I have devised a clever system to rate web sites. The system awards creativity and learning. More points are given to sites who make use of advanced HTML. If your not to good at HTML don't worry too much because you can still earn bonus pionts for creativity. I do take away points for sites that don't have the basic elements of a professional web page. The points or assement give here may not exaclly match my feelings toward your page. I probably like it more than this table implies. If you have any comments or questions about this page or any other page on this site e-mail [email protected]
