Give Credit Where Credit is Due!

Welcome the the ravamped Give Credit site, for 2004. Why revamp? Because it is felt that the message that Cathy Madsen did so well to get across to people which started in 1998, although still a good one needed to be modified.

Back in 1998, the internet and the majority of its users were still newbies, especially new to the ways of what exactly copyright was and how it pertained to the web. They were new to the fact that although they could find it on the internet that that didn't necessarily mean it was in the "public domain".

Times have changed and so should the Give Credit message, the message conveyed by Cathy: "Give Credit Where Credit is Due...on the SAME Page". Of course back then it mainly pertained to the use of graphics, linkware graphics. Back in 1998 and just up to a year or two ago, the problem was that those who were kind enough to give credit, were lumping their credit on one page, which would:

take a long time to load because normally credit was done using images (think pre-DSL and 56K modems) and
if you liked a graphic that you saw on the "about" page, how on earth were to find who the creator was on the credit page, since normally it was just a image linkback.
