Yes, awards areimportant. They are a good way of encouraging people to carry on with their personal websites. And since the rise of social media and the loss of thousands and thousands of wonderful personal sites, we need all the encouragement we can get! If you have a personal website and you would like an award, email me, or sign my guestbook, and I'll be in touch with you as soon as I can. (The images below are samples. The actual awards are larger.)
