"WiredSafety's volunteers have been doing this since right after the Web was launched. For more than 16 years we have been helping people who need our help online. Our sites have had different formats, approaches and lots and lots of coders, editors, writers and webmasters. We are all volunteers, and our online presence looked different every time someone added something or took something away. The site and our other sites grew, but not always in the right way. Our haphazard sites and navigation would be modified to adapt to a need we discovered, and new topics shoe-horned in when they emerged. No one overall vision for the site. And it stopped reflecting our One Vision, One Mission, One WiredSafety rule. We never had enough time to plot our site, update everything and adopt the newest technologies to help us address the needs of the public or even all our volunteers. Please accept our apologies. That was before. This is now. With the generous support of Google, Spectorsoft and a couple others we have ripped everything down and started from scratch. Only about 10% done, we launched with the new site to clean things up. Expect daily changes and improvements. "

"Tiny Techie is a 9 year old blogger. She enjoys singing, dancing and playing games on her iPhone and Nintendo DSi. She created this blog to share her reviews of all the games she plays. After looking at technology sites with game reviews, she realized adults were reviewing kid games. Some of the reviews of the games she enjoyed were unfair. That's when she decided to write her own reviews, from a kid's point of view. Tiny Techie is about all things techie. Just for kids."
