The Internet has many Australian Electronics sites and some good collections of links to these sites. The Australian Electronics Web Ring is an effort to link all these pages in a "chain" so that the surfer can jump from site to site following a thematic link.
There are no particular requirements to join the Australian Electronics Web Ring. If you have a site, a page or even a single project that you wish to promote, you can join the ring. Large Companies and individuals are welcome. If you have an Australian or New Zealand Electronics related home page, you can join. If you are an Australian living overseas with an Electronics related home page, we would like to hear from you too.
If you don't have an Australian or New Zealand affiliation, or association
of some kind, sorry, you aren't eligible to join the Australian Electronics
Web Ring. There are many other rings available that should suit your needs.
The Electronics
Engineering Web Ring may be a suitable alternative.
After you have filled in the form, you will get the HTML code fragment to insert in your page the ring links. Remember that you have to download and put on your site the ring banner image. You can fetch then save the file aering.jpg from here, or simply right click on it (above) to download and save the image. After you joined the ring you can always change your registration information. If you have problems with the Australian Electronics Web Ring you can contact the Ringmaster.
Visit a random site in the ring or look at the complete list.
After joining the Ring, you must add the short HTML code to your home page before your links can be activated. Until then, you remain in the queue. Who is in the Queue, I hear you ask??
What
are the most asked questions about joining the Ring?
Q:
What's in it for you?
A:
More hits, more traffic, greater awareness of your site etc.
Q:
What's in it for me?
A:
More hits, more traffic, greater awareness of my site etc. And I get to
know about your site and other related sites.
Q:
What does it cost?
A:
NOTHING all you have to do is follow the instructions and add the
HTML code to your site. I spend the time and effort to maintain the web
ring, the web ring host people spend their time.
Q:
What happens if I don't like the way the ring operates and/or who is in
it?
A:
Talk to me about it, I'm pretty reasonable. If that doesn't work, gang
up on me or start your own ring. The whole idea of the web ring is that
everyone potentially gets the benefit of a hit on someone else's site,
they then follow the thread around the web ring looking at sites with a
similar or common theme.
Q:
Where do I find the HTML code that must be added?
A:
Read the paragraph below:
If you have a look at the bottom of your change your registration information entry, you will find the ring is configured to automatically generate the HTML fragment that is supposed to appear on your web page. The HTML fragment (customized for your site) appears at the bottom of the change your registration information page.
The following conditions apply:
Length of Banner:
If a banner is added, the length of the "banner and text" must not
extend past the 2 line text limit that has been allowed in 800 by 600 display
mode.
Height of Banner:
The height of the banner may be greater than one normal line of text,
as we know you can't add much of a banner in the height of a line of
text, however it must be less than the height of two lines of text. (This
measurement includes the white space between lines.) Around 1.5 times the
height or less, is preferred. This is at the discretion of the Ring Master.
Large banners will not be accepted.
