I agree, you can't have too many anti-poverty web sites.
Last night I went to the various search engines and added the bcpoverty
url to them
I went to Alta Vista, Hotbot, Lycos, Yahoo, and Excite. So they will
probably be added within the next 2 weeks. I have also included links to
http://www.web.net/povnet. The STREETKID- Resource Page at
http://www.jbu.edu/business/sk.html, and the Homeless People's Network at
http://aspin.asu.edu/hpn. It costs money to send out a blanket
application to all the search engines. I included the search engines
accessable from the library. I believe it costs about $9.95 per month for
an upgrade to allow to use the ftp protocol to upload files. so everything
I do must be entered by hand.
feel free to check the site out and let me know what you think, any
improvements you think I should make.
As of yesterday there has been 29 hits on the site. And I have been
promoting the page every chanch I get.
