The Definitive Source for Online Journalers:
Webrings Page One
If I have missed something, please let me know and I will be happy to add it here. This page may take a moment to load due to the abundance of webrings out here for journalers. It is well worth the small wait.
Highlights:
This page showcases the rings that are more well known.
Page Two has listings for a bunch of different rings.
Page Three has an eclectic mixture of different rings plus listings of the rings that are now defunct. If you can't find what you are looking for here, try other pages within this site.
Page Four includes the newest journal rings as of 1/27/98. There is something for everyone here.
Teen Rings: I decided they should have their own page so they don't get lost in the shuffle.

"Well, because sometimes you've hit all your favorite journals and either read their latest or their authors seem to be missing in action. You find some new ones that interest you but they don't update that often either. You need your daily fix.
That's what often brings you. Journals you can count on to provide you with fresh new entries, often."
