The Internet Beacon
|
Site Honors
| An unexpected
honor arrived in September 2008,
that being that I was named as an
Exemplary Hall Honoree, "where
owners of active and retired web
award programs rated 3.0 to 5.0 by
Award Sites! are honored for
their contributions/efforts beyond
their program." The list of
honorees is short and distinguished,
and I am flattered to be included.
David, thank you again. |

In
June of 2008, The Internet Beacon
was named as a NovaSite!
by
AwardSites! NovaSites!
is an honor given to "a site shining
brightly with excellence and more
for all to see." My humble
thanks to "the brothers Grinn"
(that's not a typo). |
| The Internet Beacon Awards have
been recognized by Award Sites! for being a rated awards program
for five years. I appreciate it, David. |

This one was a
complete surprise. The
Internet Beacon received the Gold
Award from
Fun Tyme
Entertainment for
creativeness and dedication.
Sandra, thank you so much. |
| I was very pleased to have the
Internet Beacon Awards receive the
Award
Master Award, from the
Seal
of Patriotism Award Program (now closed), for awards programs "that
have achieved excellence in all areas of content, design,
graphics, quality and presentation." Many thanks, Judy. |

I was amazed to receive the
Talking
Hands Award. (Only twice-nominated sites are
considered.) This Special Edition Gold Award is given only
to winning sites that are Bobby-approved and accessible.
Thank you, Denny. |
| This rarely-given Friendship Award was
presented to me by Kim Jin Seok, webmaster of the Korea Award
Program, for some small assistance that I was able to
provide. Thank you, Jin Seok. |

I was honored to receive both the
Ralph Waldo Emerson Plaque and the
Kindness Plaque from NetMagick,
formerly one of the World's Top Award programs, now retired. Thank
you, Ellen. |
| AwardsVille's
Award Master had only one main
qualification -- an award program needed to be able to qualify for
its own top award. I am proud that the Internet Beacon
Awards is
one of only two award programs ever to be designated as an Award
Master. My thanks to the staff at AwardsVille!
You are missed.

for all animals through education." Many thanks. |

I
rarely seek out awards -- that's not
why this site exists. But my efforts to
improve this site and improve the Internet
community have resulted in a few honors for The
Internet Beacon, which I humbly and proudly
display. I thank the webmasters involved
for their kind comments and their beautiful
awards. Each of these awards are very
special to me. |
