I’ve seen lots of web rings around. I never really understood the concept. I’m not trying to be glib here, but why would I want to join a webring?
Craig.
Actually it will draw more people to your site…if you have something profound to say to the world, you can get through to more people this way. I join them as I like having other sites in a ring that are like mine. For instance I have tutorials and I’m in a ring that links tutorial sites together. It makes it easier for people to find a tutorial they can use if there are a bunch of sites linked together. Does that make sense?
From the http://ringsaround.net homepage: A webring is a community of pages with related content, organized into a virtual ring. Each page in a ring has links which let visitors move to an adjacent site on the ring, summon a ring index, or hop to a random site. Webrings let web visitors quickly and reliably find sites with related subjects.
So-gal,
Thanks for your reply. I understand now! 🙂
Craig.
You are welcome, Craig! Hope you join one! 🙂
I had to move the webring recently. You can find it here now. 🙂
Had an extra “%22” at the end of that link. 🙂

Thanks sunshine, I don’t know how that happened. 🙂
Could an admin please make this a sticky thread? The webring is growing, but it’s very slowly growing. Thanks! 🙂
Maybe we could add it to the wiki …. not sure where though.

After all of the server changes I’ve made over the past couple of months, I forgot to put the webring code back on my main pages (whoops!). Obviously I ended up being removed. Should I re-register or do you re-activate old accounts? I only ask because I liked being #13 🙂
You will have to register for the ring again.
That would be cool to have it in the Wiki. I’m not sure where either. Maybe there’s a misc. section or one should be created?
No. That ring has been deleted. I deleted it and all the members in mid-August.
I’ve started a new webring. See this post:
