10/19/08 | Who enjoys water sports, swimming, four wheeling, paint-balling, grilling, and still has time to study for his Ph.D.? My second grade teacher! At least that is what many second graders at McKinney Independent School District can say about Chase Young. Young's website is a testament to his own abilities as well as a resource for his kids. With a depth of knowledge some veteran teachers of 30 years never find, Mr. Young has surely found his niche in the dog-eat-dog world of 21st century education. |

10/11/08 | Dave Harm is a excellent writer regardless of subject matter, but his encounters with alcoholism and cancer make this site an even better treasure trove of literary therapy for those whose life has had more than their fair share of lows. With words of wisdom everyone could learn from and several well-deserved awards, Harm has definitely taken some strides in the right direction with this site. |
 UNO Stamps |
10/09/08 | Maxim van Ooijen has a very extensive and educational collection of United Nations stamps. But what makes his site really interesting is the presentation of this collection.

 Author Joel Goulet |
09/01/08 | It is a well known cliche that you can't tell a book by its cover. However, nothing could be closer to the truth in describing the website of author Joel Goulet. This simple but functional, teal blue abhorrence showcases the prose of an amazingly talented author, and Joel is generous enough to share both screenplays, novel excerpts, and an award-winning short story. Now if only we could convince him to change his color scheme... |

Merit Award Winners |
 Dusty Woodfield |
12/4/08 | While hard to fit into this award's criteria, Dusty Woodfield's website has a biography and a poem in addition to three music tracks, pictures, and tour dates on his website. We believe that music and visual arts are important forms of communication as well, and thus we would be mistaken in not promoting Mr. Woodfield's musical talent in addition to his poetic inspiration. |
