Rating Your Site

Having Finished several recent projects ranging from relationship to politics to retail sales, I found the broad spectrum of categories warranted a review of my standard project meta tags.

HHWD has always used the 'rating' meta tag 'Safe for Kids' in keeping with our policy of family friendly sites. But.. after a number of years, just WHAT is the way the Internet rates websites?

One resource is the Family Online Safety Institute. It provides resources for families, parents, and web designers for rating websites and content. It brings to attention a variety of risk factors for websites, sex, violence, dangerous behaviors and such.

The site has the ability to rate your web project and provides links/images/ratings for it. As a developer, I found it quite interesting to read through the site and rank a few projects. As a mom, even of teens, I was pleased to see an organization as much a 'wet-blanket' as I am :)

Ron Paul is Stalking Me....

I am not a politically saavy person. I don't have gobs of cash to donate to a cause, and I never participated in any campaign (except for the occaisional yard sign).

BUT!.... I MUST be a very important person... or at least Ron Paul's campaign machine thinks so. For the past 6 weeks, I have been getting 1-3 pieces of mail in the box, 1-2 calls DAILY from Ron Paul. "Vote for Ron Paul", "Google Ron Paul", etc. geesh. And all three telephone lines at the office get called too....

All campaigns receive funds and those funds must be spent for the campaign, but surely there are some other, more creative means to do spend funds than hounding me on the phone with recorded messages. At least pay someone to speak to me. That would make a much bigger impression with me as a voter.

I have no idea just who I'll vote for. This election season has brought forth some of the most diverse personalities and philosophies I have ever seen, and it encourages me to really think through what is important. However, I am currently annoyed enough with RP to scratch him off my list without considering just what he stands for. So, Go Away Paul, and let me educate myself :).
