gorgeous has been priviliged to receive a considerable number of awards, and we now invite webmasters to apply for the "cooool" award...
to reinforce the validity of the gorgeous "cooool" website award, all nominated sites are visited and reviewed against the criteria...
we've endeavoured to make the criteria as simple & specific as possible so you'll have some clear guidelines to work by...
this not only helps you as an applicant, it also helps us to evaluate your site consistently and without bias...
we want to reward your hard earned efforts while maintaining the credibility and the value of the award itself...
winners will be notified by e-mail with an attached image of the 'gorgeous' "cooool" website award, which if displayed on your site, will need to be linked back for verification purposes to the 'gorgeous' site at: http://mary.busuttil.tripod.com ...
as a 'gorgeous' "cooool" website award winner, you will also be listed on this page with a brief site description & a graphic link back to your site...
we wish you the very best of luck...
|
the criteria...
please read the following criteria before applying - although in most cases, failing to meet a single criteria will not necessarily disqualify your nomination...
|
1
|
the 'gorgeous' "cooool" website award award is open to all sites (including commercial ones) except for those that have pornography, illegal activities, or generally tasteless or hateful material...
|
2
|
first impressions are often lasting impression, so your main or opening page should be a good one...
|
3
|
the site should be well organized and easy to navigate - a site map is recommended if your site is a large one...
|
4
|
your site needs to be in english - or have an english language version available...
|
5
|
internal links should work and should go where they're meant to go...
|
6
|
external links will also be looked at, although we're very aware it's extremely difficult to keep ever-changing links up to date...
|
7
|
the site should present something original or make a visitor want to come back again...
|
8
|
you'll need more than just links to other people's sites...
|
9
|
if you've used other people's graphics, etc - this should be duly acknowledged...
|
10
|
if your site features or offers something that's widely available on the web (free graphics, sound files, etc), try to present your content in an original manner...
|
11
|
your site must be "pleasing to the eye" yet not take a lifetime to load...
|
12
|
net congestion can sometimes contribute to slow load times, so it's important to reduce your image sizes as much as possible...
|
13
|
it's also important to be aware of slow loading times due to overuse of technologies such as java, audio, video, etc...
|
14
|
crisp (original) graphics, good grammar and spelling will certainly help your overall scoring...
|
15
|
if it becomes apparent you are "stealing bandwidth" (linking directly to an image source on a server other than your own without permission), the nomination will be immediately disqualified...
|
16
|
your site should be relatively free of needless distractions such as javascript pop-ups asking for visitors to input their name or other unnecessary information...
|
17
|
your site should be relatively free of automatic midi's without controls, scrolling text in the status bar, etc...
|
18
|
all sites will be visited and reviewed, usually within 2-3 weeks - often sooner...
|
19
|
if you do not hear anything after 4 weeks, you may assume your site did not qualify for the award...
|
20
|
sites that do not qualify may upgrade/update their sites - you can then re-apply 30 days after your original application...
|

their permission to place a link to them from this page...

we don't include site descriptions
on the 'gorgeous' links pages,
except for "cooool" winners...
'cos with over 1,000 links here,
we simply don't have the time...
we guess that just means you're
gonna get a few surprises...

heavy internet traffic - so now you have a choice of two...

FREE INTERNATIONAL TELEPHONE CALLS
You can talk to us at gorgeous from your computer absolutely FREE
It's just like talking over the telephone - but you don't have to pay
those horrendously expensive international phone call rates
You'll need to install a clever little freeware program called "Skype"
Once you've installed "Skype", search for us under "gorgeous-gear"
in Australia - & you can then speak to us completely FREE
You can even call people who don't have "Skype", or have a computer
Yes, it does cost you a little, but we really do mean "a little" - & it's
also considerably less than those International Phone Cards
eg: Check out the costs of a 30 minute call between Australia & the
following Countries - & the costs are the same in either direction:
USA:
|
US 62 cents
|
 |
New Zealand:
|
NZ 98 cents
|
Canada:
|
CA 72 cents
|
 |
South Africa:
|
Rand 3.8
|
United Kingdom:
|
UK 35 pence
|
 |
Japan:
|
Yen 73
|
Europe:
|
Euro 51 cents
|
 |
Singapore:
|
SG 98 cents
|
Switzerland:
|
Franc 0.80
|
 |
China:
|
Yuan 5
|
Details are on the "Skype" site - under "SkypeOut"
If you have a webcam, we can even "eyeball" while we're talking
with "Skype" video calling - & this is also completely FREE
"Skype's" PRIVATE chat function includes a conference call facility
In the course of our gorgeous business, we make many calls to our
customers right across the world - & as you can probably tell
from all this, we're absolutley rapt with "Skype"
"Skype" is a fabulous utility & so easy to use - it's saving us a "bundle"
“I knew it was over when I downloaded Skype,” Michael Powell, chairman, Federal Communications Commission, explained. “When the inventors of KaZaA are distributing for free a little program that you can use to talk to anybody else, and the quality is fantastic, and it’s free – it’s over. The world will change now inevitably.”

where "we are" - & where "you are"

"World Time Server" website - showing
