Awards

Hey! Everyone wants their site to win awards.

I'm not the exception. I'm proud of my awards.

Split Up, Or Together?

I used to have them all on one page and then the page got to be just a bit big. I began to get, well, not exactly "complaints" but certainly "animated comments" about the time it was taking.

But, when I began to split them up into separate page, others "commented" that they liked them better all together. They wanted to be able to see them all without having to click and click. So, I've decided to show my awards:

1. all on one page, and
2. in groups of ten on multiple pages, and
3. in a complete list without pictures.

That way you can choose how you would like to see the awards.

Animations

One little caveat. Although I avoid animated GIFs on the rest of my site, I permit them on my awards pages. The person giving me the award went to the trouble of creating the animated award. It seems only courteous to show the animation.

Linking to Links That Link Back

In addition to linking to the awards site, I link to the award's winners lists with a small circle (). These links take you to the part of the other site that links back to me (hence, the circle!).

Awards Ratings

If the award is rated by Award Sites! (part of Focus Associates), I show the Award Rating using small stars ( ). Their rating is from one star to five stars in half-star increments.

Real Awards

Every single one of these awards is "real". Some sites have an award you get by just going to the site and picking it up. Others give an "award" just for signing their guestbook. One I found gives out an award using an autoresponder to anyone who writes! These "awards" have their very own section! (See the bottom of the page.)

That doesn't say that all of these awards are "exclusive". Some are "easier" to receive than others.

Still, I am proud of and value each and every one and thank the gracious owner for honoring my site.

Finding an Award

I've listed, on this page, each award group, and all the awards shown in that group. One way to find a particular award is to use the "find" feature of your browser to search for the name. When you find it, you will know what page it appears on.

I also have a page that lists all the site awards in alphabetical order.

Resources

Finally, for my visitors who are looking for resources to help them either win awards or give awards, I've added an Awards Resources page.

Awards — All the Awards: This page has all my awards, graphics, text, the whole shebang. It takes the longest to load and is the most fun to look at. (Actually, it is beginning to take just shy of an eternity to load. Of course, if you have an ISDN or cable modem connection . . . .) If you choose this page, there is almost no reason to look at the other awards pages. Note that because some browsers "time out", you may need to click on an individual award image to force it to load to your browser.  ««»»

Awards — The Awards List: This page is exactly the same as the "All the Awards" page. But it has no pictures. It has the award name, comments and a link to their award site. If also has links to the Group pages.  ««»»

Awards — The Alphabetical List: This page is an alphabetical listing of my site awards with links to their individual awards pages.  ««»»

Dubious Awards — An Examination: A few sites present awards and just invite you to take them and post them if you wish. I've encountered one site that asked you to "score" your own site in a dozen different categories and then choose the bronze, silver, gold or platinum based on your own evaluation. And, now, most recently, I've received awards sent by an autoresponder to everyone who applies. I have begun to show these awards so that others may be aware.

Awards Resources: Some of the people visiting my site may be looking for resources to help them apply for and win awards. This page provides links to some of some of my favorites. ««»»

Awards — Group 27: This page, and the other Group pages, are "groups" of the awards. They are exactly like the "All the Awards" page except they have been broken up into ten awards per page. They are listed in "reverse" order. This group is the most recent. Group 1 is the oldest set of awards. Navigation buttons at the top and bottom of each of these pages lets you go to the "next" or "prior" page very easily.
