1. I learned that there are so many talented creators of web pages. These are people with uplifting messages, with skills in animation, creators of puzzles and games, persons who also share their "favorite" WWW places in lists they maintain. 2. I have come across more and more Web Rings. A Web Ring is one of the fastest and most exciting ways to navigate the World Wide Web! This service offers easy access to hundreds of thousands of member websites organized by related interests into easy-to-travel Rings.You find Rings of interest by clicking on category links in the Directory. Anytime you find yourself at a WebRing member page, just click on the navigation buttons or hypertext links to travel to other sites in the Ring. 3. I have also found, to my regret, that often the posted addresses of "www places" are no longer correct. This means the link indicated in this listing may lead to a) a dead end, or b) to a page that redirects to the latest address.
This latter puts too much of a burden on me so I will not promise accuracy any longer. On the other hand, I will continue to accept and review nominations from my correspondents and post the ones I found to my liking. I will try to organize these discoveries in a useful way. And if your tastes are like mine, then please do continue to visit and discover with me the great pleasure and use of the Internet.
Paul
