 I'm delighted to inform you that Famous Birthdays.com is now to be found as the Astrologywizard featured and recommended Site of the Week, a highly respected accolade and one generally only awarded to the cream of Internet astrology. Whilst your site is not strictly speaking astrologically orientated, it is nevertheless a valuable and extensive resource for all those interested in the correlation between birth data and personality characteristics. Hence your award ~ which may I say, is particularly well deserved! Paul Wade |

 Congratulations are in order! The Ramos Web has selected your site as a Cool Site Pick this month. You can find your site listed at http://us.geocities.com/ramosweb2001/coolsites/cool_fun.html.

 Every day we select a Celebrity Site of the Day. We maintain strict standards: not every celebrity site can become Celebrity Site of the Day. To become Celebrity Site of the Day, the site must have something "special." |
 Who shares your birthday? For the answer, log on to www.famousbirthdays.com, the web page for the birthday curious. The hundreds of celebrity dates listed in a convenient month-by-month format all link to Yahoo! web searches, offering even more trivia fun. Finding out who shares your birthdate is a cinch, but the neatest aspect of this page is finding out which celebrities share their birthdays. Makes for some pretty odd coincidences...

 This is to inform you that your site has been picked as one of "Mac's Picks of the Week" for one week, starting now. The site picked is called "Famous
Birthdays" and has a web address of Mac's Picks is a labour of love, a weekly web page dedicated to showing new and old users of the Internet sites I have found of interest. From Usenet, other "New Sites" sources, my own surfing of the net, and visitors suggestions, I find sites which I feel are interesting, informative, and just plain fun, and I publish links to them. I update this page on a weekly basis, each Wednesday morning New Zealand time (GMT + 12 Hours). Mac's Picks can be seen at: and was the first page published on the internet in the new Millennium. My site has been up on the net for the past 8 years, but was still the first published site as stated. To see that particular page, click on the Archives 2000 link on the right side of my site, and then on the 01 January 2000 link. You are welcome to use the graphics on that page (resized to your own specifications) as a means to link back to my site. Sites picked as one of my "Picks of the Week" are picked solely on their merit as being interesting, informative, useful, or just plain fun to the web community at large. The main criteria for those pages picked is that they must be able to be visited by all members of a household, regardless of age or sex. Though there is no obligation to do so, all links back to my little page are gratefully received. Nice to see you on the web. May your fortunes increase and your days shine brightly. Best regards |
