There is NOTHING except a collection of links

Maybe you should put some content of your own.

The only thing I see that is "cloud" related is the background picture.

Since it appears to be only a one-page link-farm site, why bother with the
difficult-to-use dropdown menu? Why not just put all your external links
in a table, with your main menu item words used as <th> column headers?
Include some description about the site each link goes to.

For many reasons, it is not a good idea to use spaces in file names. Use
instead underscores or hyphens. Ex: your background image:

http://prioritize.biz/clouds master.jpg

..as in your code:
<body background="clouds master.jpg">

New documents should be at least HTML 4.01 Strict.

The American Nazi Party (ANP) was an American political party founded
by George Lincoln Rockwell. Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia,
Rockwell initially called it the World Union of Free Enterprise
National Socialists (WUFENS), but later renamed it the American Nazi
Party in 1960 to attract maximum media attention.[1] The party was
based largely upon the ideals and policies of Adolf Hitler's NSDAP in
Germany during the Third Reich but also expressed allegiance to the
Constitutional principles of the U.S.'s Founding Fathers.[citation
needed] It also espoused Holocaust denial.[2]

Headquarters

The WUFENS headquarters was first located in a residence on
Williamsburg Boulevard in Arlington, but was later moved as the ANP
headquarters to a house at 928 North Randolph Street (now a hotel and
office building site). Rockwell and some party members also
established a "Stormtrooper Barracks" in a farmhouse in the Dominion
Hills section of Arlington at what is now the Upton Hill Regional
Park, the tallest hill in the county. After Rockwell's death, the
headquarters was moved again to one side of a duplex brick and
concrete storefront at 2507 North Franklin Road which featured a
swastika prominently mounted above the front door. This site was
visible from busy Wilson Boulevard. Today the Franklin Road address is
often misidentified as Rockwell's headquarters when in fact it was the
successor organization's last physical address in Arlington (now a
coffeehouse).[3][4]
Name change and party reform

After several years of living in impoverished conditions, Rockwell
began to experience some financial success with paid speaking
engagements at universities where he was invited to express his
controversial views as exercises in free speech. This inspired him to
end the rancorous "Phase One" party tactics and begin "Phase Two", a
plan to recast the group as a legitimate political party by toning
down the verbal and written attacks against non-whites, replacing the
party rallying cry of "Sieg Heil!" with "White Power!", limiting
public display of the swastika, and entering candidates in local
elections. On January 1, 1967 Rockwell renamed the ANP to the National
Socialist White People's Party (NSWPP), a move that alienated some
hard-line members. Before he could fully implement party reforms,
Rockwell was assassinated on August 25, 1967 by disgruntled follower,
John Patler.
Assassination of George Lincoln Rockwell

An assassination attempt was made on Rockwell on June 28, 1967. As
Rockwell returned from shopping, he drove into the long driveway of
the "Stormtrooper barracks" located in Arlington's Dominion Hills
subdivision and found it blocked by a felled tree and brush. Rockwell
assumed that it was another prank by local teens. As a party member
cleared the obstruction, two shots were fired at Rockwell from behind
one of the swastika-embossed brick driveway pillars. One of the shots
ricocheted off the car, right next to his head. Leaping from the car,
Rockwell pursued the would-be assassin. On June 30, Rockwell
petitioned the Arlington County Circuit Court for a gun permit; no
action was ever taken on his request.

On August 25, 1967, while leaving the Econowash laundromat at the
Dominion Hills Shopping Center, two bullets entered Rockwell's car
through his windshield, striking him in the head and chest. His car
slowly rolled backwards to a stop and Rockwell staggered out of the
front passenger side door of the car, stood briefly while pointing
upward at the strip mall's rooftop where the shots had come from, and
then collapsed on the pavement. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
[5] Rockwell's assailant was John Patler, a former ANP/NSWPP member
whom Rockwell had ejected from the party for allegedly trying to
introduce Marxist doctrine into the party's platforms.

Koehl succession and ideological divisions

Rockwell's deputy commander, Matt Koehl, a staunch Hitlerist, assumed
the leadership role after a party council agreed that he should retain
command. Koehl continued some of Rockwell’s reforms such as
emphasizing the prospect of a future all-white society, and toning
down public denigration of non-whites. Koehl retained the swastika-
festooned party literature and pseudo-Nazi uniforms of the party's
"Storm Troopers" who had been modeled on the NSDAP's Sturmabteilung.
In 1968 Koehl moved the party to a new headquarters at 2507 North
Franklin Road, clearly visible from Arlington's main thoroughfare,
Wilson Boulevard. He also established a printing press, a "George
Lincoln Rockwell Memorial Book Store", and member living quarters on
property nearby.

The party began to experience ideological division among its followers
as it entered the 1970s. In 1970, member Frank Collin, who was himself
secretly the son of a Jewish father, broke away from the group and
founded the National Socialist Party of America in Chicago, which
became famous due to an attempt to march through Skokie, Illinois,
home to many Holocaust survivors. This led to the United States
Supreme Court Case. Other dissatisfied members of the NSWPP chose to
support William Luther Pierce, eventually forming the National
Alliance in 1974.

Further membership erosion occurred as Koehl, drawing heavily upon the
teachings of Hitlerian mystic Savitri Devi, began to suggest that
National Socialism was more akin to a religious movement than a
political one. He espoused the belief that Hitler was the gift of an
inscrutable divine providence sent to rescue the white race from
decadence and gradual extinction caused by a declining birth rate and
miscegenation. Hitler's death in 1945 was viewed as a type of
martyrdom; a voluntary, Christ-like self-sacrifice, that looked
forward to a spiritual resurrection of National Socialism at a later
date when the Aryan race would need it the most. These esoteric
beliefs led to disputes with the World Union of National Socialists,
which Rockwell had founded and whose leader, Danish neo-Nazi Povl Riis-
Knudsen, had been appointed by Koehl. Undaunted, Koehl continued to
recast the party as a new religion in formation. Public rallies were
gradually phased out in favor of low-key gatherings in private venues.
On Labor Day 1979, in a highly unpopular move for some members, Koehl
disbanded the party's paramilitary "Storm Troopers". The Koehl
organization is now known as the New Order and operates so far from
the public spotlight that few of today's neo-Nazis are aware of its
existence or know that it is the linear descendant of Rockwell's
original ANP.

On November 3, 1979, some members of the NSWPP and a Ku Klux Klan
group attacked a Communist Workers' Party protest march in Greensboro,
North Carolina. The alliance of neo-Nazis and Klansmen shot and killed
five marchers. Forty Klansmen and neo-Nazis were involved in the
shootings with sixteen Klansmen and neo-Nazis being arrested. The six
strongest cases were brought to trial first, but the two criminal
trials resulted in the acquittal of the defendants by all-white
juries. However, in a 1985 civil lawsuit the survivors won a $350,000
judgment against the city, the Klansmen and the neo-Nazis for
violating the civil rights of the demonstrators. The shootings became
known as the "Greensboro Massacre".
Namesake organizations

Since the late 1960s there have been a number of small groups that
have used the name "American Nazi Party". Perhaps the first was led by
James Warner and Allen Vincent and consisted of members of the
California branch of the NSWPP.[6] This group announced its existence
on January 1, 1968. In 1982 James Burford formed another "American
Nazi Party" from dissafected branches of the National Socialist Party
of America.[7] This Chicago-based group remained in existence until at
least 1994.[8] There was also a small American Nazi Party that
operated out of Davenport, Iowa led by a John Robert Bishop.[9][10]

The name "American Nazi Party" also been adopted by a group run by
Rocky J. Suhayda, a former member of Rockwell's original ANP in 1967.
Although Suhayda's ANP states that Rockwell was their founder, there
is no direct legal or financial link between it and Rockwell's legacy
organization, now a low-key Hitlerian religious group called New
Order. Headquartered in Westland, Michigan, Suhayda's ANP website
sells nostalgic reprints of Rockwell's 1960s-era magazine "The
Stormtrooper". The group boasts 2008's National Socialist ...

An addition to my comment: your list reminds me that, although there are
lots of good services in the cloud, there are some glaring omissions,
such as a database app that can do simple calculations.  Zoho has this,
but navigating the code is atrocious and awful.  And that's it.  Yeah,
spreadsheets galore, but if you prefer a database interface as I do,
you're out of luck.

Sigh.

Unfortunately or fortunately,  as the case may be,
China blocks many web sites
and forces web sites to conform to "community standards.

Although one is sometimes frustrated at not having complete liberty
to do and see as one wishes,

it is my opinion that having government force community
standards upon everyone,

just as they force safety and zoning standards upon everyone,

is preferable to allowing people like those in the Mass Media
to pollute cultures and instigate conflicts, wars and revolutions.

Rome had government censors for centuries,
and after the censors were emasculated,
Rome went into decline.

Note that Jewish dominated Mass Media
has been the root cause of most of the misery
of the last one hundred years, including such
events as W.W.I, W.W.II, the Great Depression,
the Class Wars of the 1900's,
the Religious Wars of the 2000's
including the war against Iraq,
the Urban Rebellion  in America that destroyed
many Urban areas and trillions of dollars in infrastructure,
the so-called "Muslim Enlightenment", "Arab Spring", etc.
the demise of Christian values,
the trashing of many institutions that have served society well
like Christian religions, the YMCA, the Boy Scouts, etc.

When a priest seduces a boy, or a Muslim abuses a woman,
the Mass Media makes it appear as a common practice,
but when a Rabbi sells body parts, or a Jewish person
commits heinous crimes, it is quickly rationalized
and covered up, and mention is made about the
tax deductible contributions that
the Jewish pervert or criminal made to Jewish organizations.

In other words, America would have been far better off
over the last century if the Constitution made a prevision
for a government censor.

Better to have a censor that is elected by the people.
than to allow people that pollute the culture,
instigate conflicts, wars and revolutions,
achieve power and wealth by brainwashing the masses.

It is very obvious to intelligent, moral folks
that what is needed is an "American/British Spring"
and the prosecution of people in the Mass Media
for their crimes against humanity.

That said, I find that the search engine that gives me
the most freedom and brainwashes me the least is
http://www.devilfinder.com

The Devilfinder image search is very good.

I also find the Chinese search engine Baidu
http://www.baidu.com
is much better than Google,
( Faster, more honest, less add polution, etc.)

and what I do is create a "bookmarklets" file
on the "Bookmarks toolbar"
containing several useful bookmarklets,
including a translation bookmarklet
that I use to instantly translate any page not in English.

I plan to add a bookmarklet entry to the "Cloud" site
with other bookmarklets that are generally useful.

Note that I have updated my new web site with
the suggestions offered, and changed the URL to

Your drop-down menu is not friendly at all. Don't you see this? None of
your "links" are visible for reading until the visitor mouses to a hard-to-
read tiny bold text. Then, there's no description whatsoever.

If they "know where they want to go," they won't be stopping by at your
link farm.

Other than a space in a file name, not that I see. It's still just a hard-
to-use one-page link farm.

> and changed the URL to

Yes, I see you've now enclosed your one page link-farm site in a masking
frame, whilst retaining the same URL as before.

There is still nothing on your page about the "cloud."

As my pal "Sir Cumference" seems to be an expert on the "cloud",
ergonomics, and on the best way to navigate the Internet,
I am hopefully that he will post some of his knowledge and ideas
so that folks can benefit from his intelligence, experience, and knowledge.

Please point to at least one item on your page that has anything to do
with cloud computing.

One navigates the Internet via hyperlinks. How those are displayed is the
"ergonomics" you have misunderstood. Your CSS-hover-only menus are
decidedly user-unfriendly.

Why should I? So far you have avoided all previous discussion, so why give
you more?

 It appears that my anonymous pal "Sir Cumference"
is ignorant of the meaning of the words "ergonomics"
and "cloud" as it applies to the Internet,
and he also has a reading comprehension problem.

Regarding his comment:
"One navigates the Internet via hyperlinks.
How those are displayed is the "ergonomics" you have misunderstood."

Ergonomics derives from two Greek words: ergon, meaning work,
and nomoi, meaning natural laws.
Combined they create a word that means the science of work
and a person's relationship to that work.

I must point out to my pal that "ergonomics" involves "a person's
relationship to work",
NOT "How hyperlinks are displayed".

First off, there are no ads, popups, blinking lights,
and other distractions on "The-cloud-machine"

and secondly, the user response is minimum;
they scan horizontally,
then vertically,
and make ONE CLICK.

My anonymous pal "Sir Cumference"
appears to have surfing and reading comprehension problems,
as "The-cloud-machine" features several computing sites,

and "The-cloud-machine" is NOT limited to "computing"
as "Sir Cumference" seems to think,
but features cloud storage, cloud sharing of information, cloud
interactions, etc.

Although I do not have the time
nor the interest in educating "Sir Cumference",
I suggest that if he wants to use "The-cloud-machine"
to do a little computing, that he should
start with the first three web sites under "Numbers'.

Perhaps the following URL will
help my anonymous pal "Sir Cumference"
understand what the cloud is.

http://campustechnology.com/articles/2011/10/31/what-is-the-cloud.aspx

"What Is the Cloud?

The easiest way to understand the cloud is to think of it as a utility, like
electricity. When you plug a device into a wall outlet, electricity flows.
You didn't generate the electricity yourself. In fact, you probably have no
idea where the electricity was generated. It's just there when you want it.
All you care about is that your device works.

Cloud computing works on the same principle. Through an internet connection
(the equivalent of an electrical outlet), you can access whatever
applications, files, or data you have opted to store in the cloud--anytime,
anywhere, from any device. How it gets to you and where it's stored are not
your concern (well, for most people they're not)."
