I have just looked in on Gavins web page and noticed that it was a member of a Webring, being new to computors could someone please explain what one of these is to me please.
Same request from me too please! Internet illiterate here! ;D
Just a set of links between sites on "similar" topics, or for "similar" interests.
There are two parts -
- the hub, where the sites in the ring are listed (and to which a website applies to be included); clicking on the "Ring Hub" link (bottom of my front page) takes you through to a listing of 63 member allotment and allotment related sites.
- a bit of code on each member website, which allows the user to navigate quickly and easily to the hub, and between member sites - at random, or in member order.
Nice idea - but my experience is that webrings are a mixed blessing. Some fly, many sink without trace. With a good moderator, they stay close and tight; with weaker moderation, the rings degrade; lots of fierce sales related sites become members, and eventually the genuine interest sites get a bit lost.
All best - Gavin
;)
Thank you very much Gavin for your answer.
