Read Carefully!

I BELIEVE IN KINDNESS
BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF ETHICS

PHILO'S QUICK ELIGIBILITY TEST
* Give yourself 1 POINT for each YES answer *

NOTE: These are the same criteria I (or my representatives) use for evaluating sites
for awards. They should give you a good idea of where you stand before you apply.

1. Do your site pages load quickly/efficiently?
(Time is precious and surfers often won't wait)
2. Is your site well organized and easy to navigate?
(Is everything spaced well and easy to read?)
3. Is your site visually appealing?
(This is subjective, but very important!)
4. Is your content interesting and/or original?
(Would a visitor be inclined to bookmark your site?)
5. Do you keep your site maintained regularly?
(See #3 - 'Last Updated' comments are useful)
6. Is your html code clear, logical, and understandable?
(You need not be a Pro though - I'm definitly not!)
7. Are graphics displayed prudently and effectively?
(Eyecatching = GOOD ... Cluttered = BAD)
8. NO Under Construction signs!
(Most good sites are continually being updated)
9. Is your site safe for all family members to view?
NO PORNOGRAPHY | NO PROFANITY | NO RACISM
10. If you have music, can the visitor turn it off?
('Click Here To Listen' music is preferred - See #1)
11. Do all of your links work?
(Minus 2 points and a slap up side the head!)
12. Is credit given where credit is due?
(N/A for Public Domain stuff of course)

GRADE YOURSELF AS FOLLOWS:

11-12 POINTS ... Definitely Top Award Material!
9 - 10 POINTS ... You qualify for almost anything!
7 - 8 POINTS ... You deserve something very nice
5 - 6 POINTS ... I'll find something good - for effort
0 - 4 POINTS ... How about a Friendship Award?

ADDITIONALLY:
You have to agree to post any award won appropriately and link
it back to my Home Page: https://www.angelfire.com/oh2/philo

If the award exceeds the size of 200x200 pixels, you may choose
to display a text line instead and link that back to my home page.
Many of my awards exceed one or the other of these dimensions
and a few exceed both. It's nice to have a second option :o)

ALSO:
While not a prerequisite, I would appreciate it if you would take
a minute to sign my Guest Book (HINT: It is on my Home Page)
