There are two major categories : Links I and Links II .

Links I is not organized in any particular fashion....simply random.

Links II is for the more structured and organized of the class; they are organized around topic headings.

As such, there is some unavoidable duplication in the lists. Given the nature of the web, they may not be available tomorrow. The list (s) should only be used as a jumping off point. Be flexible and willing to explore from here. Check back often as I will be adding sites as I come upon them.
