This website is 100% designed and built by me in my spare time. The contents are developed from our own personal interests in addition to a variety of suggestions from friends and family. All typos are probably the result of working too fast. Other mysterious problems that you may find within these pages are almost assuredly caused by some goofball mistake that I have introduced by accident.
 

Privacy Policy We do not track users on multiple visits, we do not issue cookies, and we do not maintain personal data on anyone that visits this site unless you send us site feedback or register for our periodic newsletter. We are associated with various commercial websites such as Amazon, Linkshare, and so on; your visit data may be shared with those organizations to the extent that those sites attempt to collect data through the link code that they provide to us. The bottom line is that we respect your privacy. With respect to privacy, the pictures shown at left and right may bear a remarkable resemblance to what our family really looks like -- or it may just be our Halloween pictures. You guess.
 

Copyright. I've copyrighted the photos and other original material on this website. I've already seen several instances where the wildlife pictures have appeared on other website and I'd like to prevent unauthorized hijacking. Pictures can be used for educational, non-commercial purposes. Drop us a line to let us know where our pictures are being used.
 

Technology. The website currently runs on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and is built entirely with Microsoft FrontPage 2002 - the Office XP Professional version. Until I get the time to install and configure my own web server at home, Interland - Shared Hosting has hosted our website content. We've been really pleased with Interland as our hoster -- the uptime is good, performance is good, support experiences have been positive, and so on. And they've done a lot to make their hosting plans affordable with an offer at $7.95/month (as of July 2004).
 

Persistent links. Because this site is feature-rich with links to many books and external websites, I lost too many visitors after they pursued one click offsite. And, when they used the back key to return, it caused my visitor count to soar since I don't issue cookies. As a result, I have configured external links so that a click to a page off TheRagens.com will open up a new browser window for that page. I apologize in advance if this policy bothers you but you can always leave by entering a new URL in the address bar. If you don't like this, send me feedback so that I will know that someone cares!
 

Site Statistics. Here is a snapshot of key website statistics from the 2002 calendar year for TheRagens domain.

We use WebTrends Reporting Center - eBusiness version in order to analyze our weblogs. Overall, traffic in 2003 continues to trend steadily upwards.
