Now to the questions. All of them are made to be links, so by clicking on a question, you will automatically be moved to the answer.
What is Werbeka NETSHOP?
Werbeka is a small organization for international cultural exchange. This makes it possible to maintain a personal style in this site, not only concerning "home made" material in the library and the gallery, but also with regard to opinions in other texts, etc. But, looking at the growing numbers of visitors, this concept seems to work. We are represented in Västerås and Stockholm in Sweden, in Brussels, Belgium and in Vienna, Austria. You can learn more about Västerås in the NETSHOP.

How long have you been on the Web?
We started planning in July 1995, put our first pages online in September and "opened" officially in October of the same year.

Where shall I place my bookmark?
Many visitors choose to bookmark our entrance-page, but if you do, you should remember to click the reload-button, in order to get a fresh page. At the bottom of it there are the last 5 updates, showing you the new features in the NETSHOP.

What can I do in the NETSHOP?
Mainly, we want you to relax and to enjoy your stay. Why not start off on our feedbackpage? You are also welcome to contribute there. Have a look into the library, there is a lot interesting reading there. Take then a stroll to the pages on Västerås or Vienna or Brussels ... In the gallery you might find the right backgroundtile for your own homepage or become generally inspired. Do you want to test your general knowledge? There are lots of quizzes on almost everything.
Got thirsty of all this? Have a beer in the Netrestaurant - it is on the house! And maybe you get an idea for what to cook today as well. But it depends on your own interests of course, there are lots of other possibilities - just enjoy!

How do you develop your site?
"History" has shown, that it isn't any problem to find new material, which easily can be integrated into what is there already. We have got plenty of new stuff, so there will be new features in days to come. Let us mention here, that we gladly accept other persons' works for an exhibition in the NETSHOP.

Why three languages?
The Web is international, and there are a couple of hundred languages spoken throughout the world. If we could, we would like to give you the NETSHOP in all of these languages.... We look upon that as part of the service to our visitors, and of course as means of opening our place to a broader public. Limited by knowledge, we cannot do better than the three languages we use, in which we can communicate rather fluently. Please note, that the contents are almost similar in all three languages, but that there are exceptions - we can't translate everything, sometimes we just stick to the original language.

How do you look upon copyright?
There is only one way to look upon copyright. Every creation, be it in form of written material, images, or whatever, is property of the author, unless explicitly given free for others to use. Exceptions are only works, whose author has been dead for at least 70 years. But this must be valid for classical paintings as well, even if some museums, etc. don't agree and forbid making photos. In the NETSHOP there are only the "Background-tiles" and - on condition - the fractals, which are really free. Almost everything else is our own design as well - and we will happily give you the copyright for that, but we expect you to ask for it, so that we can keep track of where it is going. We cannot protect the material from being stolen, but we can take action if we find out.

What kind of links do you have and why?
We don't have any particular policy in favour or against any sort of links, but we consider if they are of interest to our visitors. Again it is mainly content and not so much appearance, that counts. You are very welcome with suggestions - we promise to have a look at them.

What about updating?
This concerns mainly the links. We try to check them, but that doesn't mean we can check every week, and things change rapidly on the Web. We apologize if you encounter a link that is not working any more, or that has changed its URL - but don't hesitate to tell us - by doing so you'll also help others.
There is not much other material, that needs updating. Of course, if we notice that something isn't valid any more, then we change it. On the other hand, every page has got a date at the bottom, that tells when the page was created or last updated, so you can check yourself. Generally we are of the opinion, that it might be charming to see the features from a "historical" point of view - even if there should have been changes in the meantime.
