Welcome to the BA Web Ring HomePage! The BOATANCHORS Web Ring was started in April 1998.
The BOATANCHORS WebRing contains homepages of Amateur Radio stations, and businesses who have some very useful web pages. We hope you enjoy these pages .
By using the ring, you can travel from one BOATANCHORS Web Page to another until you eventually end up on the page you started at. The ring also enables you to go to the next site, skip a site, see the next 5 sites, or travel to a random site within the BOATANCHORS Web Ring. If you are interested in joining the ring, fill out the form that you can jump to after reading the instructions below.
Here are the steps you need to follow to become part of BOATANCHORS Web Ring. Please follow them carefully to preserve the integrity of the ring!
Add the HTML fragment below to your homepage.
Change the 'SITE_ID_HERE' in the references to http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring so that the id= is followed by your actual Site ID number. For example, if your site ID is 68, the line should be something like
http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?id=68&ring=ba&next.E-mail Bry, the Manager of the BOATANCHORS WebRing and ask him to add you to the ring. I will look at your page to make sure it is suitable for addition and make sure the BOATANCHORS WebRing HTML fragment on your page is okay.
After checking out your page, I will add you to the ring. You should then receive an e-mail telling you that you've been added and giving you your SITE ID#.
That's it! You should now be able to navigate the entire ring until you make it back to your own page. An easy way to make sure it is working is to go to the highest page of the ring and see if the next button takes you to your own newly added page.
Here is the code for your web page:

'OK, BRY, I UNDERSTAND, let me go fill out the FORM to REGISTER NOW!'
 | This BOATANCHORS
Webring site is owned by YOUR_NAME_HERE. Want to join the BOATANCHORS Webring? |
 |
Now that your web page is registered as a member site in the Boatanchors Web Ring, make SURE that the ring code is incorrect on that page!
If you intend to have it on a different page, then THAT page should have the ring code, and be registered, and should be set up so that folks traveling the ring can easily enter and exit your site on the same page.
IF your html code has the words: SITE_ID_HERE - then folks will not able to navigate in and out of your page on the ring! Put the ACTUAL number assigned to you there, instead of the words: SITE_ID_HERE
IMPORTANT:
Also, I strongly suggest that the page you use for your access to the
ring is NOT a special WEB RINGS page, but rather, a web page that has some
content from which falks can enter and leave so that they don't have to
find their way back to a special WEB RINGS PAGE in order to move on to the
next site in the ring!
To be honest, when I arrive at a site and all I see is a group of web ring access panels, I tend to move on to the next site rather than stay and explore. Please put the Boatanchors Web Ring Panel on a page that is attractive and has some interesting content that is relevant to the purposes of the ring! You will get more visitors that way, and they will spend more time enjoying your site.
Note:
If you EDIT your page or CHANGE the web page address later, be SURE to
register these changes with the web ring, or you will break the operation
of the ring.
Thanks - Brian Carling
p.s. - If your site gets temporarily removed for having bad or missing code, do let me know when you get this corrected, and I will put you back into the ring right away.
