FIRST OF ALL: Check to see if the site you want to submit is already listed in the taoslink.com directory. Almost all of the Taos Web sites are listed on this site.
• Your site must be verifiable as being from or about Taos. - taoslink.com does include some links from out of town that will be helpful as resources to Taosenos, however. These include safe surfing sites for kid safety and Web technologies info.
• No Telephone Numbers or Addresses. - these defeat the purpose of your links listing which is for the viewer to click on your link to get more information.
• No html. - html code will not function within the listings.
