HI,
Since my last mail there has been a little confusion regarding
webrings..hopefully this will clear it up.
Anybody can access a webring but sites that wish to be included in
the ring should email me with the following information
URL of site : http://
Title of site :
your email :
keywords :
description :
password (so that you can edit information on the ring) :
I will then email you the html code for addition onto your pages as on
the front page of http://gonzo.sci.man.ac.uk/Confocal
------------previous message about what a--------
----------- web ring is and what i am ---------------
------------hoping to achieve-------------------------
Since there is an increase in web sites devoted to the confocal
microscope I have taken it upon myself to set up a web ring.
For the uninitiated a webring is a new way to navigate the World Wide
Web This totally free service allows web sites with similar interest
to form "rings" of sites, allowing netizens a fast and efficient way
to find content and a great way for sites to build traffic and gain
exposure.
Since writing web pages and updating them with new confocal sites is
begining to become tedious this method of web listing allows a net
browser to go between websites quite easily and quickly.
If you wish to know more about the web ring i am hosting and / or want
to be included PLEASE EMAIL ME DIRECTLY and not via the list. For more
information you may wish to look at the main webring WWW site at
www.webring.org
--------------------------------------------
What is a web ring (taken from the webring site www.webring.org)
The idea is that once you are at one site in the webring, you can
click on a "Next" or "Previous" link to go to adjacent sites in the
ring and--if you do it long enough--end up where you started.
This is actually something you can do without the Webring system by
simply having each page owner link their site to the next. However,
when somebody wants to join the ring, someone has to edit their page
to point to the new page and--when the ring gets big enough--it
becomes more and more difficult to keep the ring "intact" when pages
disappear and servers go down.
The Webring provides a solution to all of these problems, as well as
numerous enhancements. When you join a Webring, the HTML code on your
homepage never changes. Links point to a special CGI script at
webring.org that will send people to the next (or previous) site in
the ring. Because the central ring database is located in one
location, sites can be added and removed quickly and easily, and
because the Webring CGI allows you go continue past sites that are
unreachable, you will always be able to continue around the loop.
The Webring will do quite a few tricks, actually. People can travel a
ring in either direction, either jumping to (or skipping) the next
site or previous site, list the next five sites in the ring, jump to a
random site in the ring, or simply get a list of all pages in the
loop. Furthermore, the Webring system supports the operation of a
virtually unlimited number of separate and distinct rings, allowing
the creation of thousands of different "communities" on the web.
