May 8, 2001 Hi Janice, I really love your site! The look and feel of it are great. The layout and easy navigation around the site are top notch! Also the useful information provided will keep people on your site. I love your choice of colors, that is so important, it will determine if people stay on your site or are pushed away. This site has a very relaxing feel to it. Your site is a prime example of what my award is all about! Thank you for applying for my award. Thank You, Jim Whalen Webs Awards Level 10
