To establish credibility of a website, please answer the following statements based on your personal opinion:

• Can you tell what this website is about from just the homepage?
• Was the website layout interesting and eye-catching?
• On a scale of very slow to very fast, how fast did the webpage load?
• Is the site organized?
• Is the name of the author listed on the website?
• Is the source of the information on the website credible?
• Are there empty hyperlinks? In other words, do all of the links work or are there links that don't connect to anything?
• Are the multimedia devices working or useful to the site?
• Can a personal account be created for the website?
• Are there spelling errors and mistakes present on the website?
• Is the website copyrighted?
• Are there references listed on the site?

Describe the overall validity of this site and a brief summary about each site. This, as well as the checklist, can be done on a separate sheet of paper.

1. Posion Halloween Candy: I believe that this is a credible and valid website. My first clue to this is the fact that it is a trademarked website, which shows that the owner and creator of this site was the owner of this product and information.
2. Hearseworks: I do think that this is a credible website, because it lists actual contact information for this company. Although the website design in disjointed and doesn't feel official, I do think that the website is valid.
3. Halloween on the Web: I think that this is a credible website, because it is a very sophisticated website design. As well as this, the company Aristotle Inc. who made the website has it copyrighted and the information is copyrighted as well.
4. Darkside Parlour: I could not access this website through the link, therefore I must operate under the assumption that it is not a valid or credible site.
5. RYT Hospital: While at first glance, this may look like a credible website and looks very official, none of the links on the page are to actual locations making it not a credible source.
6. DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE: This website is not credible or valid at all. The title is just the chemical formula for water, and this website doesn't look official at all.
7. Save the Tree Octopus: This is a very skillfully crafted website, and it is made to look practical, but the topics discussed and the overall absurdness of the information leads me to believe that it would not be a credible source of information.
8. The Onion: This is a site completely devoted to satirical news stories, and while it is wildly entertaining, it is not a credible source.
9. The Ova Prima Foundation: This is a credible source, although it may seem ridiculous, everything on the site checks out to be valid.
10. The Holocaust: There is nothing credible about this site, because it is a link to Yahoo Answers which allows users to pose their own questions and anyone can state their own opinion, valid or otherwise.
11. The Flat Earth Society: This may seem credible because it contains a mission statement, and current events, and many other items you would look at to examine validity, the claims the site makes are bogus. Not only are they bogus claims, they are backed up by false data.
12. Havidol: This is not a credible or valid source of information, becuase if you actually look up this drug online you will see that this was a parody commercial for a fake drug called Havidol.
13. Save the Guinea Worm: All of the informaton on the site is conflicting and there is no clear direction about where it wants to go. Some of it is talking about the 7 Deadly Sins while the other part is talking about a Guinea Worm. This is not a good source to look at.
14. The Museum of Jurassic Technology: This is another instance where the site is made to look like a credible source, but in fact has nothing to do with Jurassic Techonologies.
15. Mankato, MN: This is not a credible source and it is not a professional website. The pictures on display are clearly not for anywhere in Minnesota like the website suggests.
16. Hetracil: Much like Havidol, this is a fictional drug used to treat a fake disease. This is not a credible website to use.
17. Bonsai Kittens: I'm not even sure I know what this website is talking about, and the title of the pages just throws you for a loop. Is it about Bonsai trees or about kittens, that is the point of this invalid website.
18. Burmese Mountain Dog: I believe this to be a credible website, and even though it is not all that professional-appearing, it seems to be a real club who love Burmese Mountain Dogs.
19. Music Faun: This is another hoax website and is not meant to be taken seriously. This is a very well-crafted website but alas it is not valid.
20. Bureau of Sasquatch Affairs: This website is like the one about Tree Octopi, because there is a lot of effort put into a sight about fictional beings. They are well-crafted but not credible sources of information.
21. Dog Island: Dog Island is actually and island in Florida, but it contains a private-use airport, not an island full of dogs. Again an example of a website that is made to look real but is deceiving.
22. Flying Penguins: Brand Republic seems to be a credible and valid website, however the story about the flying penguins is a hoax. The video was an April Fool's Day prank and was not serious.
23. Dehydrated Water: This is not a credible website and the concept doesn't make sense. In order to rehydrate water, you would need water which makes it impractical and not valid.
24. Funky Shoes: This website is not credible although it is funny to think you could be wearing the same shoes as someone in the historical past.
25. Republic of Molossia: This may not look like a valid source of information, but the information is true. This is truly a micronation created by a man named Kevin Baugh.
