Awards — The List
This page has
all
of the awards my website has won.
It is an exact duplicate of the information on the "All the Awards" page except that I've removed all the awards graphics so it will load faster. All the awards are here on one page. And, all the excerpts of the comments are also here.
In addition, there are direct links to the Awards Group pages. So if you find an award you want to "see" you can click on the Group Link and go to the Awards Group page that has that award.
The Golden Chalice Best Site Award
While showing my evaluators (my daughters) around your "Refrigerator Door" we came to the conclusion that we just had to present you with our two top awards, without you applying (something we've never done before). If any site ever deserved them, yours certainly does. We've been looking through it for nearly 45 minutes, and I'm sure we will spend many more, special moments in time, visiting, learning and enjoying. Your site is very informative, original, eye pleasing, full of meaningful content, well
designed and easily navigated; but most of all, it's rich in Patriotism and Heart. It's a true pleasure visiting "James S. Huggins Refrigerator Door". When we tallied your score, via our scoring system, we are all 3 in awe, as we have never had a site that totaled a full 100 out of a possible 100 before.:)

Spelling Bee Award
I don't know about you, but when I am bombarded with misspelled words and sloppy editing my estimation of the site's worth begins to diminish immediately. If they can't spell or take the time to proofread, then how can I trust that the information they are giving me is correct?
[from the general award description]

Fly With Eagles Award
Congratulations! I have just finished visiting your web site and am pleased to tell you that your web page has been selected to receive the "FLY WITH EAGLES" award presented by HART Enterprises* (www.hart1.com). This award was implemented because in 1984, as the result of an accident while serving as an officer on active duty with the US Army, I became a quadriplegic, paralyzed from the chest down. In a veterans hospital for 10 months, I was among many young men
struggling to put a sense of worth back into their lives. I always admired our national symbol, the bald eagle, for its strength, courage and beauty, and its ability to soar on the slightest of winds. It was what those of us in the hospital were trying to do - muster up the strength and courage to live our lives with the least amount of help. Now I am in a position financially, physically, and spiritually to recognize others for their efforts. Thus, the "Fly With Eagles" award was born. We surf the net looking for worthy web pages. And, in some cases, web pages are recommended to us. Your
respect for proper NET ETHICS and your ability to display your web page in a LOGICAL, INFORMATIVE, and CREATIVE format places you among only a handful of web masters that have received this award.
God Bless You

H. G. Ripe Site for October 2002
Any attempt at condensing a review of James S. Huggins' Refrigerator Door into a few lines would be futile. This is a site you will simply have to visit to appreciate.

Ozz Premier Gold
I was very much impressed with the quality of your site and I could see that a great deal of time, creativity, and effort went into it. Your site received the points required to receive a PREMIER GOLD OZZ, and the HALL OF EXCELLENCE badge. [snip] The only comment I can make negative about the evaluation is that I found excessive scrolling on most pages visited, I respectfully suggest that consideration be given to using "up links" for longer pages. Excellent experience!!
[Feb.2002]
NB: Inspired both by these comments regarding "up links" I have added an uplink to the bottom of every page on my site and am considering additional "up links" throughout longer pages. It is one more example how award programs help improve sites.

Home & Hearth Award of Excellence
Now, about your website, this is when I get to be critical and use my big stick. I'm almost at a loss for words in describing what I thought when reviewing your site for our Award, but not quite. I found the design to reflect a very high standard of creativity and professionalism. The content was excellent and the ease of navigation made it an excellent addition to the World Wide Web. It was informative, enlightening and above all entertaining. More than worthy of our small token of appreciation.
Now, that is some awards section. Very impressive design, and I like the way you have them grouped into smaller sections of 10 as well as the text only section. Adding the comments is another nice touch.
Surfers Choice Best of the
Web Directory Gold Member
Your site is excellent in my opinion. You have good information and humor. It's personal - I felt like you were shaking hands with me. You have done a good job with the HTML and the like. You have a site map. It's obvious you have done your homework. You planned your site very well.
Content is the key. You have it and you haven't messed it up with those crappy free graphics all over the Net.
Only one piece of advice. You may want to find a way to cut down the size of your index page. It's too long. Other than that your site is very, very good.
[NB: This directory program is different to the Internet Awards that Surfers Choice gives out.]
Silver Design Award for Web Excellence
