The Internet
is an amazing place with good (and not so good) things happening. At RidgeStar, we endorse the basic concept of a "free Internet" and believe that the exchange of information is a positive thing. In light of this, we hope that the following topics help you to learn more about the Internet!

There are also several Sites on the Web that discuss all about sites, what they should look like, and what you should do to make them successful. One we think you'll find interesting is Vincent Flander's WebPagesThatSuck.com
, which describes the sorts of things a Site shouldn't do (an interesting approach!).
