Website Awards:

Over the first eight years of this site's existance, I submitted it to many different Award Programs. I learned a great deal about accessibility and user-friendliness from the various requirements and suggestions of the evaluators for these awards, and Salamanders Young Burn Survivors changed a lot in the process. My thanks to all those dedicated people who helped me develop this site into what it is today.
