Webring
F.A.Q!
(Last Updated: 26th January 2002)
IF
YOU ARE CONSIDERING ADDING YOUR JAMES SPADER SITE TO THE RING, PLEASE
THIS FAQ
This
WebRing will make finding information about James Spader much much easier
for fans and encourage Ring Members to work their pages together.
2.
How does a WebRing work?
Basically,
a "webring" is a directory of list of websites which have
the same subject, in this case its the wonderful actor James Spader.
Each James Spader Page webmaster puts the HTML Navigation
code on their front page and when a websurfer wants to look at another
page in the ring they click on the Navigation Bar which takes them to
another James Spader WebRing page!
This gives each website more visitors, and lets websurfers view high-quality
James Spader sites!
3.
How Do I Join The James Spader WebRing
First
of all your site must meet the few requirements below. These requirements
aren't meant to limit any creativity in web design, but to make sure
each page is interesting and enjoyable web-surfers!
Then
you can join by clicking here.
4.
The minimum requirements of this ring are;
- You must have
an existing page that is partially, or fully dedicated to James
Spader.
- You must have
a working email address.
- This ring generates
a moderate stream of traffic to each site and to be fair on all
members to receive hits, please put your HTML Navigation
Bar on your Entry or Main page.
- If your website
contains profanity, or sexual references please put a disclaimer
somewhere on your site just in case the websurfer happens to be
underage or sensitive.
5.
Your page WON'T be considered if;
- it contains
excessive profanity.
- it contains
excessive sexual references/pictures.
Note about the
above rules: We're all adults (well most of us) and if a website
contains this material we either like it or we don't - we can either
view it or go to the next page, easy. However no one wants to view
a page that's "over the top".
- it publishes
Celebrity "Home Addresses"
Note about
the above rule: How would you feel if someone put your address
on the Internet without asking you first? You wouldn't like it.
How do you think James Spader (or any celebrity for that matter)
would feel if he saw HIS family home address on a website? I can
guess that he wouldn't enjoy that, and he wouldn't like YOUR webpage,
or this WebRing! So these pages are OUT OF THE QUESTION.
- it is a
replica of or very similar to another page in the ring (in part
or total, this includes images and/or information) or another James
Spader page for that matter.
Note about the above rule: No one wants to go to another website
and see the same information and pictures... variety is the spice
of life AND the Internet... be creative.... use your imagination!
:)
Please
do not submit pages that are an off-line"work of progress".
Your page must be an online prototype.
It is not in the interest of the ring to send a websurfer to a page
that is waiting to be made or totally under construction
6.
What happens after I submit my application?
Your
application will be placed in a Submission Queue. The URL will then
be visited by the RingMistress.
If your page meets the requirements for the ring you will receive an
email with instructions for the HTML Navigation Code (which creates
a Navigation Bar) required on your page.
7.
What does the Navigation Bar look like?
There is one on this page here.
8.
Do I have to add the HTML Navigation Code to my page?
Yes.
The purpose of the ring is to give ALL sites in the ring more hits,
and let people find high quality James Spader websites, so without the
Navigation Bar, you're creating a "broken link" in the chain
of James Spader sites.
NB:
If you do not add the Navigation Code to your website, the WebRing will
automatically suspend it from the webring so make sure
you put it on your page promptly.
9.
I'm already a member of this ring. How do I edit my info and/or get
the HTML Navigation Code?
You
can edit your info, and get the HTML Navigation code here:
http://p.webring.com/wrman?ring=jamesspader&id=11&edit
10.
Help! I can't find the Navigation Code on the WebRing website!
Once
you have logged into the Webring page (the link is in the previous question
- look up) go to Member Tools, click on Get Navigation Code
The code should be on this page, or if not, click on the link at the
bottom of the page which says:
"Members
who wish to use the HTML version of this nav bar should go here."
Once
you've got the code, highlight it and then copy the whole thing, then
insert it into your webite.
11.
I can't see the answer to my question on this page!
If
you have a question that is not answered in this FAQ, email [email protected]
or for more
information on Webrings, WebRing.Org have a good
