Rating: 3 Stars |
| GGFree.com review: Provides links to UK competitions, and in most cases seems to provide a direct link to the entry page. Always interesting to see how well these types of sites are kept up to date, but so far, so good on this one. |

| Hermitage Museum |
www.hermitagemuseum.org
Rating: 5 Stars |
| Hermitage Museum review: One of the world's great art galleries, the collection at the Hermitage in St Petersburg ranges from early Russian archaeology to medieval Italian armour to the Impressionists. Some great search tools, including search by colour layout - e.g. find a picture with blue sea, white cliffs, and a lighthouse. Loads of other great features as well. Top site. |

| Cupid's Clock |

Rating: 3 Stars |
| Cupid's Clock review: Shows celebrity marriages with the time they have lasted so far. Also allows users to add their own relationships, public or not. Increasing usage, and added features. Interesting, Flash-based design which can be slow on dial-up connections. |

There is a $6 fee for application, and any land purchased through MoonProperty.net (prices start at $13 an acre) will be taxed at 1.5%.

| Prince Charles Online |
http://pco.teamhighgrove.com
Rating: 3 Stars |
| Prince Charles Online review: Well we haven't come across another Prince Charles website yet, so if you're after news and photos this is probably the best place to go. In welcome contrast to the tabloid-style stories more prevalent on the web, this site maintains a healthy respect for the prince. Includes links to William and Harry sites. Not officially endorsed by the prince, despite the domain name. Some problems in Netscape. |
