Here are some
basic rules that you will need to keep in mind regarding what YOUR
Web Site offers to the Cyberspace public. After consideration of the
following rules, follow the instructionsand contact this researcher
at the e-mail address listed below. Your request will be reviewed
along with the information submitted and your Web Site. After viewing
your site, I will contact you of the decision with regards to the
American Civil War Excellence Award.
RULE #1:
All Civil War REGIMENTAL sites will be considered... but
preferrencial consideration will be given to INFANTRY Regimental
Sites. Face it, this researcher's sites are devoted to INFANTRY
Regiments. Additionally, ALL sites, both North and South will be
given equal consideration (this site does NOT play favorites with
this award...face it, these men were ALL American Sons).
RULE #2:
Your pages must contain information that will supply a service to the
Web Community. By a service, it is meant, that the page should
contain historical information, i.e., a ROSTER of the MEN with
regards to the Regiment that you are submitting. Other information
for consideration is the inclusion of engagements, photos, unit
history,command structure, letters, diaries and related information.
The overall theme of the web site should be pleasing to the eye and
contain your information in an easily readable and understandable
format.
RULE #3:
Web sites that do not contain the above information will not be
considered. There are many sites that are about the American Civil
War in nature, but do not conform to the above mentioned rules.
Important: If your site is "Under Construction" please do
NOT submit it.
We wish to view a site that is
complete. We will not give consideration
to sites that are "Under Construction". An additional suggestion is
this. We, like all webmasters, love to hear the accompanying music
that many folks use to enhance the material displayed on their
website.
A suggestion is that you also give us, the
reviewers, an opportunity to "pause" the music when we are viewing
your site by including the optional control panel. This will save
time that can be utilized in viewing pages that can load quicker.
Thank you for your considerations.
All submitted sites must be easily viewable by the
GENERAL PUBLIC. Pages which portray
racial or ethnic overtones will be given absolutely NO
consideration.
RULE #4:
Please provide us with the following
information to better assist us in
reviewing
your web site ... (We
will make every effort to review your site within a week of receipt
of this message. If you do not hear from us by then -- please be
patient -- we will review your site. Due to the large demand for our awards
program, we review all sites requested -- however, we only respond to
sites that are award receiptants. Do not be slighted should we not
offer you our award presentation on your first try -- for we only
award about 50% of all requested applications.
We offer our awards from a personal point of view and some sites we
personally feel are not up to par.Try again later after more work is
done to your site. All Civil War web sites go through extensive
modifications and additions. Do not despair, you will know when your
site is one of the best on the web and that is not by receiving a
token of appreciation from another webmaster -- but when you receive
the accolades of your visitors who are searching for information
about their ancestor. They are the true
award presenters for they are the ones who will praise you
work. )
