This is an epilogue to Birthday Boost

In Defence of Little Sites

Do you own a little site - ever had it ignored, or snubbed by a bigger site, or had some one basically say your site sucks and never offer constructive suggestions for improvement? Maybe your site is for amusement, or just has pictures, or its educational, or you run it to suport a charity or a community organisation, and you've been dismayed by other large hub sites ignoring your requests for reciprocal links or additions to a web ring or a link list?

Well this thread is your chance to vent about it!

However as well as venting I would like you to consider this?

One of the major reasons I ran Birthday Boost was to get feedback and find out why people support certain sites - no I didnt run it just to increase my hit count. (Though many thanks to those folk who did visit) People seem to prefer entertainment over educational resources and many forum or site moderators seem to feel they should only have to link to bigger sites or their friends sites only.

Folks please whether you're a fellow Gemini or not, or just a disgruntled owner of a "little site", after you have finished expressing your frustration, please consider doing this : whether the site belongs to a friend or enemy, whether it's for a charity or community organisation, or it's a new site that needs polish, whether it provides amusement or educational resources, please add pick out such a site at random, and add a link or banner and give them support!

Vent folks but then go do something constructive and help!

and a final thanks to those folk who did visit?

Maybe we should start a "Little Sites" web ring?
