Yahooligans
Even better than filtering your children's Internet usage, why not give them their own kids-safe start page to use when they're surfing? Yahool provides just such a page—called Yahooligansl
Yahooligansl (www.yahooligans.com) is a kids-oriented directory that is part of the Yahool network of sites. Each site listed in the Yahooligansl directory has been carefully checked by an experienced educator to ensure that the site's content is appropriate for children aged 7 to 12.
As you can see in Figure 1-11, Yahooligansl works just like the main Yahool Web directory, which means you can find sites by either browsing through categories or directly searching. The difference is that this directory includes categories and sites of particular interest to children and teenagers—as well as additional features and services.

Figure 1-11: Yahoo! for kids—Yahooligans!
In addition to all the cool kids-friendly content, Yahooligans! offers a few other neat features to help protect your children online. For example, when you conduct a search on Yahooligans!, it searches only the Yahooligans! directory—it doesn't back out to the Web for a larger (unsupervised) index search. And the Yahooligans! directory doesn't include sites with any content inappropriate for younger Web surfers, so it's completely kids-safe.
In other words, Yahooligans! is the perfect start page for your kids.
insider Yahooligans! is more than just a directory of family-friendly Web sites. insight Yahooligans! also includes a variety of fun and informational services, from downloadable pictures to interactive online games.
