I am thinking that this website is not a credible source for a few reasons. However, to begin with, there is one thing that could fool a reader. The site was recently updated in September, with recent "news" from October. This could fool someone because it shows that the person creating this site is keeping up with recent news; it isn't just a gig that someone made up ten years ago. This is the only positive to this site. Using the guidelines from kathyschrock.net, finding information about the author wasn't easy. I found it in the FAQ area, and the frequently asked questions just happened to be about his last name and how to pronounce it. Odd questions to be frequently asking.. Also, at the bottom of the page, there was a line that said this website had no connections to any other schools, universities, or scholars except for "Wild Haggis Conservation Society." Most societies are for students. I couldn't even click on a link from the page to investigate on the society. Also, this is just personal value, but the page was very hard to read and didn't act as a scholarly page. I wouldn't trust information from this website.
