Webring FAQMore help at http://dir.webring.com/helpCan members edit their own site information?
Yes. Go to http://dir.webring.com and click on "Sign In", top right hand side.The Webring navigation bar is not showing up on my site.
Normally a small box will appear where you have placed your code stating that the site is a member of Webring. This will be replaced with the navigation bar when the site is admitted to the ring. If after admission the navbar still does not show up, try replacing the javascript version with the HTML version of the code.Where do I get the Webring code?
Go to http://dir.webring.com and click on "Sign In", top right hand side. Click on "My Rings" and then click on the ring title.
Click on "Get Navigation Code" under member tools. Paste the code into the body of the page you have specified as your entry page for webring visitors.HTML Code
If you would prefer to use the HTML version, click on "Members who wish to use the HTML version of this nav bar should go here." at the bottom of the "Ring Navigation SSNB" page.Must I have the webring code on my front page?
No, but it must be on the designated entry page, and this page must be readily accessible from the front page or introduction page.If you don't wish to change the design or layout of your front page to accommodate the webring navbar, but want people to see that page when they come in from a webring, simply put your navbar on a separate page and clearly link that page to your front page.
Why does the ring manager insist that the code be on the "designated entry page"?
If there is some problem with the code, it may take the administrator quite some time to find & check the code if it is not on the page registered with webring.com.Sometimes the webring javascript slows or stalls my page. What can I do?
Put the code on a separate page (e.g. webrings.htm), and ensure that it's your designated entry page. If you do use the javascript version on your front page, try putting it in a separate table near the bottom so it won't prevent the rest of the page from loading - but please don't put two and half megs of images and a 45 minute soundtrack above it.My site has frames. Does this pose a problem?
Yes, it sometimes does. The webring robot may report the navbar as broken. To overcome this, designate your webring entry page as the page on which the navbar code resides, ie an unframed page, and incorporate the TARGET="_top" tag to direct visitors back to your framed site.I came across a site with the old style webring code in a non-standard format. Is this allowed?
Yes. If you wish to be creative you can use the HTML version of the code to blend the webring navbar into the overall design of your site. Ensure that all of the links remain unchanged, but colors, layout and table sizes are entirely at your discretion.My site has been suspended. Why. What do I do?
Sites are suspended for a number of reasons, the most common being that the navbar is not visible on the designated entry page and/or fails the webring robot test. This does not mean it has been deleted. The restoration to active status is a simple process - follow the instructions above under "Where do I get my Webring code?" Once your site achieves PASS status, the webring system will inform the ring manager who will re-activate your site in due course - usually within a week or so.
