WHAT IS A WEBRING?

A Webring is a totally free service, providing the Internet community with a different way to organise itself on the World Wide Web. It is a way of grouping together Websites (or even individual pages) of similar themes or topics by linking them together in a "Webring" around Cyberspace.


WHO CAN JOIN THE TORAH RING?

To qualify to join the Torah Ring, your Web site or page MUST be well managed AND, at least in part, have Torah content. It could be an Organization or a private homepage that you are trying to publicize to the Jewish world.


JOINING THE TORAH RING

If your Web site or page qualifies for the Torah ring, joining is a simple 4 step process:

  • Fill out the form below, add yourself to the Queue and receive your Site ID via email.
  • Insert into your page the appropriate links, code fragment and graphics. You'll find them below on this page.
  • Once you've completed steps 1 and 2, email me telling me that you've done so.
  • I'll check out your Web page. If all looks OK, I'll then add you into the Ring and email you!
  • STEP 1 - FILL OUT THIS FORM

    In order to be added to the "Queue" and be given a Site ID #, you must fill out this form and submit it.

    Your Site URL:
    Your Site Title:
    Your E-mail Address:
    Pick a Password:


    Step 2 - ADD THE CODE AND GRAPHICS

    Once you receive your Site ID #, you need to add the necessary code to your Web Site Home Page. Remember, when you put this code into your page, you need to check it VERY carefully, add your Site ID# and your email address where required, or it won't work properly.

    Don't worry if all this looks a bit confusing. Just take it step by step and slowly. If you still need help with the code, email me and I'll try to help you out.

    Code Fragment:

    <!-- BEGIN THE TORAH RING FRAGMENT --> <table border=5 cellpadding=1 cellspacing=1> <tr> <td align=middle> <Center> <a href="http://home.onestop.net/torah/werbring.html" TARGET="_top"> <img height=100 width=100 src="http://home.onestop.net/torah/Icons/torah.gif" alt="Torah Ring Logo"></A> </td> <td align=middle> <Center> <P> <font size=2 face="arial"> This <a href="http://home.onestop.net/torah/webring.html" TARGET="_top">Torah Ring</a> site<br>is owned by <a href="mailto:______@_____">YOUR_NAME</a>. <br>Click here for<br> [ <a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=Torah&id=___&prev" TARGET="_top">Prev</a> | <a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=Torah&id=___&skip" TARGET="_top">Skip It</a> | <a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=Torah&id=___&next5" TARGET="_top">Next 5</a> | <a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=Torah&id=___&random" TARGET="_top">Random</a> | <a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=Torah&id=___&next" TARGET="_top">Next</a> ] <br> Want to join the Torah Ring?<br> Click here for the <a href="http://home.onestop.net/torah/webring.html" TARGET="_top">info</a>. </font> </center> </td> <td align=middle> <a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=Torah&id=___&next" TARGET="_top"> Next <br> Torah <br> Site</A> </td></tr> </table> </center> <!-- END TORAH RING FRAGMENT -->

    MAKE SURE THAT...

  • where it says .../cgi-bin/webring?ring=Torah&id=____ <-----Add your Site ID # (SIX different places!!)
  • where it says a href="mailto:____@_____" <--------Add your e-mail address (ONE place)
  • where it says YOUR_NAME<-------Replace that with your name (ONE place)
  • you DON'T need to copy the graphics to your server. The Torah Ring Graphics are called up from this server.

    This is how the code will look on your page
    This is only an example so the links are dead.
