What is a Web Ring?
Web Rings are simply pages on the internet that
are linked together by a common code inserted on each site's page. If
you follow the links long enough they will form a circle and bring you
back to where you started. You can go from page to page or select a random link
and wind up...who knows where!
To cut and paste
Just hold your left mouse key down across the body of above text to
highlight it. Then release the key - click "edit" on your browser's
toolbar and select "copy." Place mouse pointer at insertion point
of your document (where you want the text to go) and click. Then go back
to "edit" on your browser's tool bar and click "paste." It's a breeze!
It might look intimidating but the "cut and paste" moves the whole html
fragment at once and all you do is insert your ID number where it asks
you to. See the example below:
Change the references to http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=goldtwh&id=XX
so that the id=XX is replaced with your site ID number. For example, if your site ID number is
18 the A HREF should be something like: A HREF="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=goldtwh&id=18"
Please Note that after you have submitted your site, YOU ONLY HAVE 10 DAYS TO ADD THE
NECESSARY HTML FRAGMENT AND IMAGE TO YOUR SITE.
If you have not added the code and image in the 10 day time limit, and you have not requested
an extension, your site will be automatically removed from the queue. If you still want to be
in our Web Ring, you will have to resubmit your site. Note that you may be given a new ID
number.
After you add code and image, you must Email the
Ring Master, and send your ID number in the Email. A sample message is displayed below.
"My ID number is__?__, my page url is http://____?____. My HTML fragment and image are in place
on my page. I am waiting for your approval!"
Help! I can't add my html fragment!
If you have tried to add your html fragment but it distorted once you viewed
it in your browser chances are:
- your browser or your web page editor does not support tables
- your web page creator adds erroneous tags to the code after you save your document
- your web page creator converts the text to a graphical interpretation
- your graphics are not loaded into the right directory on your server-please double check!
- if your fragment is in text form on your page then you need to delete the (XMP) from the beginning of your html fragment and the (/XMP) from the end of your html fragment
If you encounter any problems when adding the fragment to your document please feel free to
contact the Web Ring Ring Master at goldtwh@webaffects.com
for assistance.
