  It is sometimes difficult to tell if a site is personal or not. However,a URL that contains edu. is an educational site gov. is a government site Of the sites I posted for you, they are, in order, sponsored by Mayo Clinic National Institute of Health (nih) U. of Illionis extension the national government Web Med company The last, the Health Guide, lists several people on its editorial team, so it probably is not a personal site.

  so are you saying those 5 ARE personal sites? these are the questions i have to answer: is the site personal is there an individual author (if yes--author's name?) is the "author" a sponsoring agency (if yes--agency's name?) Is the page sponsored by a "parent" organization or association? (if yes--sponsor's name?) Can you locate credentials for the author/association/agency? What type of site is it? (What is the domain?) edu, net, gov ...etc i'm really confused. please help me :(
