Dear Philippa: I am not aware of a coding system for categorizing websites **generally**, but there are several that have been used to code various features of websites (e.g., interactive functions, information provision, action features). You may wish to consult the methodology chapter and appendix in the following book, and the related publication website. Nick Jankowski Dougherty, M., & Foot, K. A. (2007). The Internet and Elections Project research design. In Rl Kluver, N. W. Jankowski, K. A. Foot & S. M. Schneider (eds.), The Internet and eational elections; A comparative study of web campaigning, pp. 16-26. London: Routledge. http://ipa.tamu.edu/projects/elections.asp ************************************************************************************************* Nicholas W.

As part of a large study on Internet use we are surveying people on what websites they access most regularly. For coding purposes these websites need to be categorised and we are wishing to establish if there is an existing classification system already in use by researchers for a question of this nature.
