-LINK RATINGS-

Although I personally visit every site listed on my links pages, and I only list sites that I feel are worth visiting, I also try to make it easier to decide which of the many sites listed here to go to first by highlighting some special sites as follows:

These are sites that I'm aware of with links back to my page -
exceptionally wise people with sites worth seeing!

Link to my site or not, these are sites to be seen!!

These sites are essential!
Head first to the sites shown with three GREEN asterisks!!!

Very rare - these are reserved for sites that are essential plus two!!!!!
Pretty hard to get any better than these!!!!!

These are sites I either work for or with, people I know personally, or sites that have compensated me in some way for a banner placement. SUPER essentials!!!!!!!
