Clan MacColin

Web Site Policies

• Forms will not be concealed.
• Information is not collected on this site. Any information to the site will be by email, including from forms. Information will be considered confidential unless specified otherwise (i.e. Publish box checked for Email address form).
• The standard elements will be HTML, text, .gif, .jpg, .png, midi (.mid) or wave (.wav) files, to remain generally compatible. Other formats may be added and tested, with notes when needed.
• Bandwidth usage is limited, and graphics are routinely shrunk, color reduced, and compressed for transmission speed. Pictures pages are explicitly a bandwidth hog, but will remain svelt compared to Microsoft sites. A Mobile Home Page is available.
• While bells and whistles be used occasionally for interest and testing, they will not be allowed to prevent getting the point of the page unless labeled as such, i.e. a test page. Javascript will be used, maybe some Java, but no Active-X as it violates security standards.
• Limited items, large, slow, and exceptional items will be identified. The SiteMap identifies special requirements.
• For ease of use, both for you and in updating, almost all addresses within the site are relative, so the bookmarks and outline can be used locally on your hard disk off line.
• As all authors, I need feedback and I shall review all of it carefully.
• To protect members and Clan MacColin, any material for publication must be identified as such. If I don't have explicit publication authority, i.e. the (ADDRF.HTM publish flag, or text) an e-address will not be published, even when I have a pile of e-mails.
• Permission for non-commercial use of items from this site usually will be given gratis, provided you ask, and indicate the source.
