This is how your
Cool Cats webring graphic must appear on your page,
with your own site title. If it does not appear this way, please
mail ring owner for
assistance.
The memorial webrings
below were created to bring together our web tributes
to our beloved animal companions...large and
small.
A webring links websites with similar subject
content together in a circle, or ring. When you visit one site, you can then
click on the webring graphic to go to adjacent sites in the ring - and -
if you do it long enough - you end up back at the first site you visited.
Webrings ensure that you are visiting actively maintained virtual
communities of webpages on the internet. Each site in a specific webring
displays identical code and graphics to facilitate ring surfing.
Webrings provide benefits for both visitors and site owners...
Visitors: Webrings pull related sites together into easily explored groups
so you can quickly and easily navigate related websites organized by
areas of interest. No need to endlessly return to search engines to find
additional websites that match your interests. Just click on the
webring link to continue on to the next same-subject site.
Site Owners: Joining a webring is the best way to increase traffic to your
site. You receive not just random hits, but hits from people actively
seeking information about the topic your site provides. Additionally, your
site is part of a "family" of sites that all share your
interest.
1. To be eligible to join
Cool Cats, your website must contain a page(s) devoted to your cat(s).
Businesses are not eligible to join Cool Cats UNLESS your products/services
pertain solely to cats. A mix of cat and dog products/services will
not be accepted.
2. The url (website address) you submit for
membership MUST identically match the url (website address) of the page on
which you place the Cool Cats html ring code (graphic) or you will not
be able to be added to the ring.
3.
We ask that you place the Cool Cats ring code on
your cat's page so
that visitors traveling the ring are taken directly to the cat content
they are expecting to find.Ultimately, however, the ring location
choice is yours. HOWEVER! If you do place the ring graphic on
your webring page, that page must contain a link directly back
to your cat site.
4.
Since our webring will bring your cat site many visitors, your site
must be working correctly; graphics and animation can be seen,
menus are complete and links are active. Special effects must be seen by
the majority of computer users and do not crash browsers. If your site is
not finished but is currently "under construction", please wait to join Cool
Catsuntil your site is
completed. 5. Our Cool Cats ring
graphic was created to have a specific appearance and be a specific
size, so do not alter the graphic in any way. Changing the size of the
graphic, the ring links, the link order, etc. must result in
termination of your membership or nonacceptance of a new
submission. Comparing your ring graphic to the sample above on
the Cool Cats home page (or on our member sites) will show you
exactly how the graphic is to appear.
6. Please correctly place your html ring code (that will be mailed to
you as soon as you complete the submission info) on your cat site within
7 days of submission. After 7 days, submissions will be removed from
the webring queue. Once your code is correctly placed on your
page, your membership will be activated within 7 days.
7. If your
cat site is associated with a larger site, that site must be family
friendly and appropriate for children to visit.
1. Click on the 'Submit your site' link
in the menu above or click on 'Join' on the Cool Cats ring graphic itself.
2. Enter the required
information.
3. As soon as you submit
your information, you will receive your html ring code. Copy and paste
this code into the page you submitted for membership.
3. When you have placed your
html ring code on your page, your site will
automatically be placed in the webring queue. The ring owner will
make sure that the code is working correctly and will then add your site
to the ring.
You're done! It's that easy
to become a member!
Note: Be sure to save the e-mail that includes your Ring ID, Site ID
and password as you will need this information should you ever want to edit
your site information.
Important:
If the url (website adress) to your site changes, be sure to update your
member info or your site will no longer be able to be found and will
have to be removed from the ring. If your e-mail address changes, please
be sure to update that as well. If you don't remember your Cool Cats
WebRing site ID or password, let
the Ring Owner
know and that information will be mailed to you (Ring Owner does not see
passwords!).
