.WebsAwards is where we look towards moving into the
future with a progressive, transparent and efficient organization that works to meet the needs of award program owners whether they be new to the awards community or firmly established. We do not
provide assessments for (personal subject) websites; we are Website Award Program specific and it is Award Programs that we wish to provide recognition for which means all Award Program providers are
welcome to join with us. Quote, permission on file.
.RAU Awards Institute. provides excellent tutorials, articles and other information which benefit the Awards Community and web authors.
You will have one window open and your browser back button disabled, therefore if you close the open window, the remaining open window is the parent web site or the place where you started.
This is an example which helps to explain an acceptable use of "Link Opens in New Window" since RAU provides research resources.
Footnote: While the browser back page is disabled in Netscape and Firefox, the back page is enabled for Opera and IE, but will return to your "home page" and not where you started.
