    Which states: "While there are an infinite number of websites on the Net, there are finite numbers that leave an overwhelming feeling of being awestruck by both the content and the structure of the site."
  • Your site content subject should be broad enough to reach a general population of the Internet community. Your content should be more than this is me and my family photos or my hobby. While we are sure that you have a beautiful and interesting grouping of photos, we must learn something from them.
    For example: if you have content regarding your hobby of stamp collecting. Teach us about the hobby; assist us to become more informed about the art of stamp collecting. Perhaps teaching us about what is a rare find and what is more common. We would find this far more valuable information than simply showing me your stamp collection.
