What is a web-ring?
The Webring is a totally free service offered to the Internet community. We are a quickly growing collection of homepages from all over the World who are committed to creating a new kind of Web community for all those with the same interests. The Webring provides the World Wide Web with a different way to organize web sites. The Webring is a way to group together sites with similar content (or any pages at all, if one so desires) by linking them together in a circle, or ring. How does it work? 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 k
A web ring is a collection of web sites with a common theme. The sites in a web ring are joined by a piece of code displayed on each site that allows visitors to navigate from site to site within the ring. It varies by web ring, but the code can include a button or image representing the ring, links to the previous and next sites in the ring, a link to the home page or join page of the ring, a link to a random site in the ring, and a link to the list of sites in the ring.
A web ring is a web site database consisting of a group of website links to and from the web ring. Members of a web ring generally share a common theme, for example, Professional Organizers. Its purpose is to help individual Internet browsers locate and find many websites of a particular group on the World Wide Web. The POWR allows Internet users to locate many professional organizers in one step without having to do numerous searches or needing to know individual web site addresses. The POWR is multi-national and has no affiliation with NAPO, however, many of its members are NAPO members and are from the USA. We are also building our Canadian and Worldwide membership. ALL Professional Organizers are invited to join. We promote the FIELD of Professional Organizing.
A web ring, also called a webring, is a way to link websites together on the Internet. A web ring can have as many or as few websites in the ring as desired; usually, web rings are based around a common interest, experience, topic, or hobby. Joining a web ring is a great way to get more visitors to your website. A web ring might begin with one person, also called a moderator, deciding to start the ring to group together similar websites. The owner of the ring might then contact other websites, or the site owners might contact the moderator, to see if they are interested in being part of the web ring. If they are, each site in the ring will feature a navigation bar that links to the site prior to it and after it in the web ring. A link to the main site for the web ring is also provided, if one of the sites in the ring should go down. The main page of the web ring will generally provide information about the ring and its purpose. It will also share information on how to join the ring, al
A web ring groups web sites with a similar theme together in such a way that the user can visit each one in succession, finally coming again to the starting site. One way to accomplish this result is for the site owners link their sites to each other, but this method is difficult to organize and maintain. Web rings involve special code that does the hard part. All each user has to do is submit his or her site’s URL to the web ring’s owner, the Ringmaster, and put a standardized HTML fragment on the page. If something about a site changes, such as the location, its owner can easily edit the appropriate information without other users worrying about changing links, etc. Web rings are flexible, and can do several neat tricks that would be impractical for a manually constructed ring. For example, a user can move forward or backward along the ring, skip sites, visit a random site, or list all the sites.
