he Open Directory Project editors are committed to building the most useful Directory on the Internet. We want to help your promotion efforts by listing your site in a timely manner.

Sites which are incomplete, having Under Construction notices, or which contain broken graphics or links have a poor chance of being listed. Please wait to submit your web site until it is complete. Please double-check the URL, and, if possible, include an e-mail address so we may contact you if we have questions.

If you provide an Authoring resource (non-commercial guide, web site development resource, a directory to resources), please submit to the most appropriate Authoring category or subcategory.

If you are a web site developer or designer wishing to list a site offering professional services, please submit your URL to the category of Computers: Internet: Web Design and Development, into the most appropriate sub-category which describes the services offered.

The Authoring category guides users to Non-Commercial resources for website design and development: Authoring Guides and Tutorials, Authoring Software, and Webmaster Resources.
