WebRing.com System Webring Navbars Spot — My Pet (Pet 09) Welcome to my website. I hope that you enjoy your visit here. This webring welcome page hosts navbars for my memberships in WebRing.com webrings.
Spot, My Pet
If there are two staples of the "personal page" on the web they are
Well . . . I have both on my site. I have a pet. She is (or more properly, she used to be) female. She is all black. She is a cat. And, I named her Spot. She is the second all black cat that has lived with me. The first one left a bit over 20 years ago. He was also named Spot. When Data on Star Trek Next Generation named his cat Spot, friends called me to remind me that
I hadn't had a pet since then. Then, I decided it was time for another cat. My colleagues directed me to cat rescue shelters in the area. Now, when you call one of these shelters and tell them you are specifically looking for a black cat, they investigate you rather thoroughly. Seems that some bad people do bad things to black cats. After all my screenings, one of the shelters called with a candidate: an all black "female" that had been completely declawed: all four paws. She needed a home where she could be an indoor cat. I was looking for an indoor cat, so a match was made. That was in 1998. No. She is not a show cat. No pedigree at all. But she is my Grand Winner. She gives me her love and affection. She wakens me in the morning by licking my eyebrows. And she waits for me to return home at night by sitting in the window. And, she sits above my keyboard on a shelf I installed for her. Sometimes she leans over and tries to type. Her HTML skills aren't very good. Most pet pages have a picture. Mine doesn't. I have a black lacquer bed with black sheets. It didn't work. even all my digital photo manipulation couldn't make it work. You'll just have to imagine. Spot is very tame, and very friendly. But she likes to pretend that she is a ferocious panther. She stalks the papers on my desk. She likes to "attack" my toes under the sheet. So, since she likes to pretend she is a panther, and since panthers are one of my favorite cats, and since I don't have a good picture of Spot (yet), I'm using a graphic of a ferocious panther for this page.

What Is a WebRing.com System Webring?
The WebRing.com system is the largest and most prominent brand of webring system. It is the direct descendent of the Original WebRing created by Sage Weil. First owned by Starseed, then by Geocities, it was acquired by Yahoo!. In September 2000, Yahoo! assimilated the Original WebRing and replaced it with Yahoo! WebRing. Then on 12.Oct.2001, Yahoo! spun off the system to create the WebRing.com system as an independent webring host. For an extensive list of resources, including more history of the concept of webrings and lots more information about the WebRing.com system, see my section on the WebRing.com system. Where Are the Navbars? They are at the bottom of the page. They take a bit longer to load. They are at the bottom to permit the rest of the page to load before it stops for that process.

Webring Sections and Subsections The Webring Section is a large section of my website. I have divided it into four major "subsections".
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. It includes my Webring FAQ, links to articles about webrings, and general help information. Click here or on the graphic.
The WebRing.com System This subsection includes specific information about the WebRing.com system. While not the only webring system on the net, it is the best known and the most used. I own many webrings in this system and belong to many webrings in this system. (I also own and belong to many webrings in other systems as well.) Click here or on the graphic.
The Wazillion Navbars Project 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. |

NOTICE - SITE UNDERGOING EXTENSIVE RESTRUCTURING - This particlar page has not yet changed. Some other pages have. The page and main menu are being widened; failing links are being identified/removed and the HTML is being corrected/revised to better use CSS Structures. I appreciate your patience while this effort proceeds. Completion was originally estimated for December 2011. However the lengthy illness and recent death of my mother (20.Jul.2011) has caused me to reestimate completion for Jul.2012, gods willing and the creeks don't rise. Please email me about any errors you detect or questions you may have. ■ Check out my ezine Snippets and blog My Ephemerae.
