Thank you to all of you who have written wondering where we had gone. We're going to work hard to make your wait worthwhile! Before we continue with the issue, we wanted to pass along some very important notes. As you know, TWB depends on the input from our readership to keep the ezine full of useful, informative and quality websites. In order to make 1999 a very successful year for TWB, we have a few requests to make for your submissions: 1) No PORNOGRAPHIC, WAREZ, RACIST, ILLEGAL, or MLM-themed sites. A lot of people read the list, so let's try to keep it clean. 2) Submit only ONE page of your website.
