Welcome! You have arrived at just one of the many rooms in Grampa and Gramma's House in Cyberspace. This is a safe house on the Internet and here are some ways you can make your house a safe house too.

From an article written by Jesse Berst, Editorial Director, ZDNet AnchorDesk
Step 1.
Check with your online service provider. Does it offer safe-surfing controls? If so, find out how to use them. You won't have to install anything, and you'll get protection for free. America Online and Microsoft Network make it easy to block questionable content. And check out the great advice from Pam Dixon, author of Take Charge: Computing for Teens and Parents. (Click for full story.)

Step 2.
If your service doesn't provide the control you need, then purchase and install filtering software. There's no need to guess which package to buy, either, since Family PC has the latest ratings. (Click for full story.)

Step 3.
Monitor the situation by frequenting Family PC's Kids' Safety and Parental Guidance Clearinghouse. (Click for full story.)

Step 4.
Voice your opinion. Click the Talk Back link at the bottom of this page to send me your personal convictions. I'll post some of the best responses beneath this article. Or jump over to Net.Politics (linked in the sidebar) for the latest information, plus tips for getting involved.

It's fine to complain, to kvetch, to rant, to raise a ruckus. As long as you protect your family first. Don't wait 30 days -- or 30 months -- for some official edict. Take 30 minutes right now to ensure surfing is safe for kids at your house.


Thanks for stopping by.

Grampa's building a new room. Grampa's building a new room. Grampa's building a new room. Grampa's building a new room. Grampa's building a new room.


The Teacher asks: "Where is My guest room...?'" Mark 14:14 The Teacher was Jesus, Christ is still asking the same question: Where is My room? And in the home of ourlife, we answer Him. Your room is the foyer, where all who enter will know You are present in this home. Your room is the kitchen, for You are our provision and our source of strength. Your room is the family room, where You are the center of our family, our fellowship, our friendships and our entertainment. Your room is the bedroom, where we rest, secure in the knowledge of your protection. Your room is the study, for all knowledge begins and ends in You. Your room is the tool closet, for all my works of service are in vain, if they do not start with You. Your room is even the deck out back, where You can watch Your sunset over Your creation and remind us each day that all You have created is indeed very good. We give Him our whole house.
