Rating Your Site

Having Finished several recent projects ranging from relationship to politics to retail sales, I found the broad spectrum of categories warranted a review of my standard project meta tags.

HHWD has always used the 'rating' meta tag 'Safe for Kids' in keeping with our policy of family friendly sites. But.. after a number of years, just WHAT is the way the Internet rates websites?

One resource is the Family Online Safety Institute. It provides resources for families, parents, and web designers for rating websites and content. It brings to attention a variety of risk factors for websites, sex, violence, dangerous behaviors and such.

The site has the ability to rate your web project and provides links/images/ratings for it. As a developer, I found it quite interesting to read through the site and rank a few projects. As a mom, even of teens, I was pleased to see an organization as much a 'wet-blanket' as I am :)
