Since the beginning of the internet, it has mirrored physical life in the sense that there are safe places to visit and some not so safe locales. For children this idea is exponentiated as the online world can in many ways provide dangers not seen in real life.

I think we can all be in agreeance that it's vital that we make the internet a safer place for kids to visit. The problem is devising a solution that satisfies all parties involved. Some want a higher grade of censorship, while others see education and providing information to parents and children as the solution.

I find my self in the later category. Much like the world of video games, it's important that we provide information to parents to help keep their children safe from anything that could potentially cause harm. Education is the key to creating a safer environment for our kids.

I'm not alone in this thought as an organization by the name PointSmart, has released a set of guidelines for encouraging internet education for our children and parents. Here's a paragraph summarizing what their mission is about...

"Expanding online safety efforts to emphasize online smarts, through digital media literacy and education programs that empower parents and teachers to prepare kids to navigate the world of online and digital media. These efforts will be significantly improved with more focus on education, rather than only on crime prevention."

The PointSmart organization has a key influential member that I'd say could provide clarity to the situation; Google. They've released a statement regarding PointSmart's guidelines.

After looking at PointSmart and Google's thoughts on the topic, how do you view online safety? What steps should we take as we continue to make the internet a safer environment ?

The ideas presented in the WebProWorld newsletter editor's note do not reflect the thoughts, and ideas of the WebProWorld community.

JS Conflict or Errors?

JS Conflict or Errors?
Hello, I am trying to add a lightbox feature to a page on my site and on my local server it works fine, but when loaded to my webserver it does not work.

The page: Island Club Resorts - Belize Yacht Club, Belize Resort, San Pedro, Ambergris Caye Vacation

The icons next to the room descriptions in the rates should open a lightbox with a couple of images.

I look at the JS errors and it indicates that a bit of JS used on my index page is what is causing the error, but not sure if that is the issue or not.

Any help please.

Site for Review http://www.carforums-online.com/

I've just started a new forum board called: Car Forums Online and was wondering if anyone could take a look at it for me. I'm brand new to the forum world, so I know its not perfect. Why choose a car forum when there are so many others to choose from? Well, my problem is that I like chatting to people and discussing things that interest me....Cars!

When is something seen as link farm?

I've got a set of sites that all deal with a particular related topic. I'm looking to link them together to connect related information but am concerned that interlinking them all might look like suspicious to google.

So my question really is when does something start to look like a link farm? Is it at 10 sites interlinked, 100? 1000?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Linux
Linux Mail Clients

Before I give in to my fellow classmates and agree with their choices.....

And because I know I'll get an honest, straight forward, no holds barred answer here... (thankfully!!)

I need advice on which Linux mail client is preferred and why? I'm leaning toward Mozilla but...only because the stupid book gives you fifty pages on it, and one on everything else.

What's the best choice? Why? And... am I going to play follow the leader?

Is Twitter Scaring Google?
There have been multiple reports that Twitter could replace Google. Twitter has quickly risen to become one of the most powerful sources on the Web. In 2008 alone, Compete found that the microblogging service grew 752 percent. Do you think this might make Google, the long-standing Internet giant, a tad-bit nervous or jealous?
