Helikas Q2 Donations

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

It’s time to tell you where your hard earned money went…

A donation of $50 to Environmental Defense Action Fund, the lobbying arm of Environmental Defense, a leading environmental organization dedicated to educating the public about sound environmental policy and promoting lasting solutions to protect the environmental rights of all people.

Additionally, 3 14lb bags of Pet Promise cat food were donated to our local no kill feline shelter.  Surprisingly, the cost of the cat food turned out to be double the donation given to EDF!  This is a sort of double donation, of course it helps out the shelter but it is also supporting a pet food company that is conscious of what goes into their food.

As they state their policy, “Our ranchers don’t feed their animals added antibiotics or growth hormones, and unlike most other “natural” pet foods, we refuse to use rendered fats and proteins in Pet Promise. What do we use? Our quality ingredients include meat from pasture-fed animals, free-range poultry, and ocean-caught fish.”

As always, a huge thank you to all of our clients who make these donations possible.  Every little bit, even a small Basic package from Helikas, helps make these donations possible.

Arachne is Cleaning

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Now that Arachne has spruced up her web, she will begin to manually review all sites included in WebWeaver.  Sites that return 404 errors, are invalid or are suspended will be deleted.  Sites that are being updated will be moved to Hold status and reviewed after 30 days.  Please be sure that your listing information is up to date.

Featured Sites that do not display a reciprocal link will be removed from the Featured Site rotation.

Link partners that display a reciprocal link on a page other than their index page will have their banner moved to the Arachne’s Friends rotation which displays on WebWeaver index page near the search bar.  This is because our policy regarding the requirements to become a Featured Site have changed, however we wanted to grandfather in sites that had supported us under the old policy.

All policy changes can be viewed in the FAQ on WebWeaver.

WebWeaver Overhauled

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Finally, finally, finally….whew! WebWeaver’s major upgrade is complete, uploaded and tested.

This wasn’t just a shallow make-over of the look of the site, but a total overhaul of the search algorithm, addition of new features, new user panel and policy revamping.

We finally had to drawn the line and leave a few planned additions for later otherwise we never would have said, “ok, it’s done”.  Those features will be added over the next few weeks and months.

We hope you enjoy the new look and feel and find the new features useful.
