How long does it take to get verified?

Since this is a manual process it could tak at long as a week or more. Your application is sent immediately after you process it, however the email must be read by a board member, your site verified, and the html for the members page must be updated. Currently this process is taking about one complete week.

Why don't you just take anybody anymore?

Membership was originally offered to everyone who had a cajun site and was self maintained for a period of time. Over time we have had some people sign up who didn't know what they were signing up for and just blindly followed the steps. The requirments are that you have some cajun information on your page and you must strive to make sure it is as accurate as you can verify.

Will it cost me anything to join?

There is no cost for becoming a member of Cajun-Creole Online at this time. I am trying to keep it this way currently. Running a web site is not free, however, and at some point it may become necessary to charge a slight fee to be a member of the Cajun/Creole Online Association. If at any point a fee become necessary a meeting of the board of directors will determine the fee to be charged.

How was the Cajun-Creole Online Association formed?

The Cajun-Creole Online Association was formed after a conversation took place that mentioned the fact that many Web sites were branding themselves as being Cajun and in fact were from New Orleans when New Orleans has only about a 3% Cajun population. We (The Board of Directors) decided that we needed a few web sites on the Internet to provide a correct, accurate portrait of the Cajun and Creole culture we grew up with. Since we all shared the same opinions about how the information should be presented, we decided that the Organization should be launched. Since Shane Bernard and Herman Fuslier already had a web site that was describing the difference between what is Cajun and what is Creole, and I have a few megs of space on my web site we decided that it would be hosted on Marcus's Web server space. This has since become a very popular site, so popular that Marcus has been written in numberous newspapers throughout Louisiana.
