This page explains how to get the JavaScript for the navbars stack, put it onto your page and be sure you did it right.
This page is part of WebRing.com Help,
my extensive reference section about the WebRing.com system. WebRing.com was born 12.Oct.2001 when
Yahoo! left the webring business. It was reborn in Oct.2006 when
it had a major redesign and began charging for what had been a free
service.
Summary
This is the new logo for the WebRing.com system,
implemented in their changes of Oct.2006. It distinguishes this webring system from the other systems like Ringlink,
RingSurf and
Bravenet. See also my articles:
WebRing.com Logos and Is Webring a Trademark?
The WebRing.com system uses JavaScript to retrieve and display stacks of navbars on the web page.
Click on "My Rings" (in the upper right portion of the page).
Click on "View Ring Sites" (in the left column of the page).
Click on the Site Title of your page in that webring.
Confirm that the page that is registered is the page onto which you wish to place the code. The code should go onto the registered page. Some ringmasters require that the code go onto the registered page.
If the page is correct, go to Step 13 to get the code, or go to Step 19 to just test your membership.
Change the page to be the correct registered page.
If you want to change the page name or description, do that now too.
Click "Submit".
WARNING: Do not get navigation code yet. Do not get navigation code from this page. There is a system bug. If you get the navigation code from this page it will be wrong.
Click the Back button on your browser.
Click "Get Navigation Code".
Place your cursor in the "box" with all the code and select all the code. (The easiest way to "select all" in Windows is to type Ctrl A.)
Copy all the code. (The easiest way in Windows is to type Ctrl C.)
Paste this code into the HTML of your site, (The easiest way to paste in Windows is to type Ctrl V.) Remember that you should place the code onto the page that you registered and that some ringmasters require you to place the code on the page that you registered. This is critical.
Place the webpage you just modified onto your website. If you are using a web based editor, save the page. If you are using a PC based editor (e.g., Dreamweaver, FrontPage), upload the changed page to your server.
Click the Back button on your browser.
Click "Test" (It is underneath the URL listed for your web page.)
If the system comes back as "Pass", you did everything right. Also, if you were previously "accepted" but "suspended" and if the webring uses the Automatic Management System, this will also activate you.
A
Personal Note:
If You Want to Delete Your Webring
If you are considering deleting your WebRing.com webring, please do not delete it. Instead, please
contact me
. I would be pleased to adopt it from you. I will personally work with you to make that transition smooth and painless.
I'm sorry. While I have long adopted webrings in the WebRing.com system,
because of the Oct.2006 changes, I am no longer doing that.
However, please note that "deleting" your webring is a fruitless exercise.
The system will just restore it and place it up for adoption.

News and Announcements
WebRing.com
Changes Big Time --- It was October 2001 that WebRing.com came into
existence following the end of Yahoo! Webring. Now, 5 years later, WebRing.com
is changing again. Moving from primarily a free service to primarily a paid
service, the system is undergoing massive change. Stay tuned.
Ringlink
Activity --- While
Ringlink has not released a new version
since
Version 3.2
on 21.Feb.2005, the system seems to be getting a lot of activity. Many people
are discovering this great webring system and moving their webrings here. If you
don't know about Ringlink,
definitely check out this great webring system. I personally recommend
it.
RingSurf
Passes 3 Year Anniversary --- It was 3 years ago, on 16.Aug.2003 when the WoW list list noted that RingSurf's domain name registration had changed.
Then the new owner came forward. A RingSurf Feature List was developed and debated. Then, on Thanksgiving day, 27.Nov.2003 the new owner posted on the WoW list that the new RingSurf is up! If you haven't checked it out lately, see what has happened in the last three years.
Article About Webrings --- Check out this excellent Salon.com article about the history of Yahoo! and WebRing.com: The Strange Saga of Yahoo and Webring. For some, it will bring back memories. For others, it will explain the history.
Now, I wonder if they will update it to talk about the latest WebRing.com
changes.
Articles About the WebRing.com System
WebRing.com System
see all my pages about the WebRing.com system,
including information about all the pages shown below.
The Webring Section is a large section of my website. I have divided it into four major "subsections".
General Information
The WebRing.com System
Webrings I Own and Belong To
The Wazillion Navbars Project
Each "subsection" has it's own special "logo".
As you travel in the various subsections you will find, near the bottom of each page, links to pages within that subsection and also links to the other subsections. To go to any subsection, just click on the "logo" or on the text link for that subsection.
Webrings: General Information
This subsection includes general information about webrings. Webrings can be hosted by a variety of different services. This section deals with the overall concepts and issues, not with any one particular "brand" of webring.
This subsection is a historical section about the Yahoo! WebRing system. It was begun during the early days of problems with the Yahoo! WebRing system in September 2000.
It ended when the Yahoo! WebRing system spun off into the independent WebRing.com system in October 2001. I maintain it for the historical record. Click here or on the graphic.
Webrings I Own and Belong To
This subsection shows all the webrings I own and links to all the webrings to which I belong. This includes webrings in Ringlink, RingSurf, Bravenet and the WebRing.com system as well.
If you are looking to join one of my webrings, this is a good place to start. If you wonder about the webrings I belong to, this is the place to go. Click here or on the graphic.
