Pages
EUROPa is a new way to connect up and explore the World-Wide
Web. It was started at Imperial College,
London, UK on 22 December
1994 by Denis Howe
<[email protected]> just to see how far it would spread.
Problems or comments should be sent to Denis and the owner of the
relevant page (if any). See below for how to join in.

Some (non-EUROPa) pages you might care to browse.
How to join in
To join in you need to be able to create
your own Web page. Here's what to do:
- Invent a new URL to use for your own EUROPa page, something like
"http://my.host.net/europa.html".
- Take a copy of the HTML source of this page using your browser's
"View Source" or "Save as HTML" function.
- Replace all the "Owner of this page" names, e-mail addresses,
etc. as indicated by the comments in the HTML.
- Put something interesting in the "Other links" section.
- Install the page on your Web server with the URL you gave.
- E-mail the new URL to me, the owner of this page (below).
- I will send back my latest "Next EUROPa page" link if it has
changed since you took your copy.
- Update the "Next page" link in your page if necessary.
- Wait until you receive the URL of another new EUROPa page.
- Check the new page is OK.
- Send the owner of the new page your latest "Next page" link if
necessary (and keep a note of it for yourself).
- Update the "Next page" link on your page to point to the new URL
you received.
It is important to follow these instructions in the order given to
ensure that the ring remains a ring. You may join the ring at any
point but you may only join once. To this end, you should
check that any URL you receive is not already in the ring by following
the links back round to your own page. You should keep a private note
of old "Next page"s in case your current one dies, leaving a break in
the ring.
