"Hi! Thank you for the opportunity to visit your spectacular site!" -- Amaretto, webmistress, Simply Amaretto, Thompson, Manitoba, Canada

Hallo Mic, nach eingehender Prüfung freuen wir uns, Dir den Blanki's Home Award in Gold verleihen zu dürfen. :-) Begründung (immer dran denken - unsere Meinung, die nicht unbedingt maßgebend sein muß): Persönliches Gefallen: Welch eine Seite ! Sehr umfangreich, tolle Navigation, hier stimmt einfach alles. Super Ideen (z.B. Umwandlung des englischen "be" in "bee", von beeline abgeleitet), da muß man erst einmal drauf kommen. :-) Inhalt: Übersetzt heißt es wohl: Bereich-Informations-Suchsystem, also ähnlich einer Suchmaschine, nur sensibler, um das zu finden, was in der Nähe ist. Dazu ein hervorragendes Award-Programm (Award Sites Ranking: 5.0, die höchste Stufe) sowie ein Programm für Neueinsteiger in's Internet. Wir haben lange Zeit auf dieser Seite zugebracht, aber mit Sicherheit noch nicht alles gesehen.! Rechtschreibung: Fehlerfrei, bis auf die gewollten Umwandlungen (z.B. be=bee). Navigation: Hier ist für jeden Besucher etwas dabei... Man kann zwischen 6 (!) verschiedenen Arten der Navigation wählen (und alles funktioniert !) Design: Sehr ruhig, mit passenden Bienen-Pics. Auch die Menuebars sind mit kleinen Bienen-Bildchen geschmückt, selbst der Award ist ein Bienenstock ! Und trotzdem wirkt es an keiner Stelle übertrieben oder falsch eingesetzt. "Herzblut": Ein sehr gutes Beispiel, wie man Herz mit Verstand kombinieren kann. Soforp kommt ein Gefühl der Verbundenheit zu den "Bees" auf, was auf den Einsatz des Herzens von Míc zurückzuführen ist. Summa summarum: Gold-Award [Crude translation: Hello Mic, After a detailed check, we are pleased to be allowed to give to you the Blanki's Home Award in gold. :-) Reason (always to think - our opinion, which does not have to be determining necessarily): Personal favour: What a page! Very extensively, mad navigation, here tunes simply everything. Super ideas (e.g. transformation of the English "be" into "bee", of beeline derived), there one must come only once drauf. :-) Contents: Translated it probably means: area information searching system, thus similarly a search machine, only more sensibly, in order to find, what is in the proximity. In addition, an outstanding award program (Award Sites! ranking 5.0, the highest level) as well as a program for new A risers on the Internet. We, of course, spent a long time on this page, but did not see with assurance everything! Orthography: Error free, up to the intended transformations (e.g. be =bee). Navigation: Here is for each visitor somewhat thereby... One can select between 6 (!) different types of navigation (and everything functions!). Design: Very calmly, with suitable bee pics. Also the menu bars are with small bee Bildchen decorated, even the award is a bienenstock! And nevertheless it works nowhere exaggerated or falsely assigned. "heart blood": A very good example, how one can combine heart with understanding. A feeling of the solidarity arises immediately to the "Bees," which is to due to the application of the heart of Míc. Summa summarum: Gold Award]

"The recipients of our Webmaster Awards are not selected on their skills with HTML, graphics, programming, or any other visible talent; rather I select these individuals because of their contributions to the Web. All of the individuals are people I have come to know over the past years and each are special. These views are not just mine, but are shared by many others who have expressed their gratitude and respect for our Webmaster Award winners. I can well remember when Míc submitted his site to me way back in 1996. The personality of the site impressed me and the amount of work that Míc puts into the site is something to appreciate. Míc is an ace marketing person which is evident in the way he has branded his site using the bee as his trademark. One visit to his site will clearly demonstrate his genius. I can attest to the fact that Míc was a pioneer in this field and has used it to build trust and community. Míc is that type of person that always takes a second to say 'hi,' pay a compliment, or drop you an e-mail just to pick up your day. I can well imagine he does this for many people each day. It is with volumes of pleasure that I present Míc with our Webmaster Award." -- Wally Gross, webmaster, Surfer's Choice Internet Awards, Technomax, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

"Míc Miller, webmaster of The Beeline, I love to write letters of congratulations to the wonderful webmasters who are winners of awards from the Master of Magick applications, and this notification is even more fun than that!! Four times each year the Master of Magick evaluators look back at the winners during the past three months and we pick out the one (or sometimes two -- this time it was two) sites out of all those that earned a Master of Magick to receive an additional honor. That honor is called 'Once in a Blue Moon' and it is my greatest pleasure to present that honor to you for your creation -- The Beeline. Congratulations!! The Beeline has received several honors from the 3moons Award program and it deserved each and every one. Now, because of our name change, you have earned an honor from NetMagick.Net. The evaluators have spoken, The Beeline got the most votes of any site nominated, and saying that, we decree that The Beeline is far and away one of the best of the best. By the way, earning a Blue Moon makes your site automatically nominated for a Spellbinding Site of the Year award which will be judged by some of the most prestigious award givers on the Net. We wish you good luck! So, congratulations (again) to you, Míc Miller, you are a Master rare indeed!" -- Ellen Wilson, webmistress, NetMagick.Net, Bellevue, Nebraska, USA
