A webring is a convenient system of linking together a group of similarly-themed sites in a circular fashion. The link on one member site leads to the next, and so on until you arrive back where you started. Different links can also take you backwards or to a random site in the ring with equal ease.
This Ringmaker uses a central hub system to make creating and managing a single webring fun, easy and reliable.
If you have a website which matches the theme of this ring, you can easily request that your site be added by clicking the "Join Ring" link in the Control Panel. Select a username and password (alphanumerics only) for your account and then just fill out the form with your site information.
The webmaster running this web ring may have enabled the Image Authentication section of the Add Site process. In this case, an image containing some lines and numbers will appear along with a small input box. To confirm your application, just type the numbers you see into the input box below the image.
Once you've submitted your site, you will receive a fragment of HTML code which contains and/or delivers the navigation bar for this ring. You will need to paste this code on your webpage at the URI you submitted with your application.
Once the navigation bar is active at your site, a ring administrator will review your application and, if found acceptable, will approve your site for membership.
If you've submitted a site, whether or not your site has been approved, you can log in to your account using the Control Panel. From here you can click "Edit Details" to bring up your personal member control panel where you can change almost any element of your account, and even remove your site from the ring altogether.
If your site has been approved, you can change your account status freely between Active and Hibernating. When your site is hibernating, clicks from the ring will not be directed to your site. Use this feature when you expect your site to be down or under construction, and don't want to break the ring.
The Orca Ringmaker also keeps detailed statistics which you can visit either by clicking the "Statistics" link in the Control Panel, or one of the small icons next to each Site Title on the Ring Hub. The icon links will reveal in-depth statistics about each site in the ring. Make sure you check them out to keep track of how your site is doing!
A "Hit" is recorded whenever a user arrives at a site because of a Ringmaker link. Arrivals via the Ring Hub links and from Navigation Bars on other member sites will all add Hits to your site totals.
A "Click" is recorded whenever a user leaves a member site via a Ringmaker link. Direct Clicks from the Ring Hub aren't recorded, only those from member Navigation Bars' "Next", "Previous" and "Random" links. Because of this, the Clicks totals are accurate reflections of how much the Ringmaker Navigation Bars are being used.
Essentially, total Hits are how many visitors a site is receiving because of ring membership, while total Clicks are how many visitors a site is generating for the rest of the ring.
First of all, if you wish to join The Frog Web Ring, you are assumed to be familiar with the concept, have a website related to the topic/theme of this - FROGS, and know how to copy and paste code before you start. If you are new to the Internet, and have just established your first website, then joining this is probably the best thing you can do to get noticed! :-) However, it is best to familiarize yourself with this webring's Terms of Service as listed below before doing so.
This is NOT a lowly link listing service.
The Frog Web Ring is an open service. The number of websites that can be hosted within this ring is currently unlimited. In thefuture this may change at the whim of "http://www.e-pond.info/" that hosts this but for the present they have no such plans.
It is our policy to offer open, and relatively unrestricted access to the webring, with regard to the type of content allowed, with the exceptions noted in Appendix A. The Service provided by The Frog Web Ring allows related websites a means to link together into easily navigable groupings referred to as a Webring. While the Ringmaster provides the basic navigation system (navpanel)for this, each member website page hosting the navpanel webring does so on a different server owned and operated by another person who is often known as the Webmaster. The Frog Web Ring has no control over, access to, or responsibility for the content found on these member web pages that display this ring's navpanel or the associated web pages for these member websites, including images, links, trademarked material and/or other content.
