- What is
the Anatolian Shepherd Dog WebRing?
- The WebRing is a circular
journey through member websites having a common theme.
The idea is that once you are at one site in the webring,
you can click on a "Next" or
"Previous" link in the same ring to go to
adjacent sites in the ring and--if you do it long
enough--end up where you started. Basically this is a
circular journey to all the websites within a particular
ring theme.
- In this case, the theme is
dedicated to the Anatolian Shepherd Dog - the Turkish
breed of Livestock Guardian Dog (LGD) known world-wide as
the Anatolian.
- What is the Anatolian Shepherd?
- This breed, originating in
ancient regions of Anatolia in Turkey, appears in a
variety of types, which like all historic working breeds,
has not been stagnant over time. Some of these varieties
have been designated as separate breeds over the last
quarter of this century. In many countries, there are a
variety of names for different specific phenotypes of the breed and it is with this
understanding, that the Anatolian Webring bases its breed
definition.
- Information about WebRings.
- WebRing is a free service
allows web sites with similar interest to form
"rings" of sites, allowing netizens a fast and
efficient way to find content and a great way for sites
to build traffic and gain exposure for member web sites.
Note:
Occasionally the webring server is a bit dysfunctaional
or especially slow, be patient and try again at a later
time to do whatever you were trying to do. Unfortunately,
this downtime also applies to those that are attempting
webring management!
- The objectives of this WebRing.
- To help unify
our various groups and to help educate
those interested in these dogs, so that informed
decisions can be made by those seeking to acquire one.
This WebRing hopes to inform and entertain those who
already have one or more of these magnificent dogs AND
those "just looking" and surfing the web will
get an opportunity to see some of these dogs via use of
this forum.
Helpful information includes that which helps the webring
surfer to understand that these primitive guardian dogs
have breed character of a type that requires
a level of responsibility
that not all are prepared to assume.
Is your site eligible?
Requirements
for sites submitted
to the
Anatolian Shepherd Dog WebRing
- Anatolians and/or their varieties (Akbash and Kangal
Dogs) MUST be featured on at least one page of your site,
and this page shall include the Anatolian Shepherd Dog
WebRing Logo.
- Great pictures, articles and/or stories that
contribute to a well-balanced presentation of Anatolians
are encouraged. It does not have to be a 'serious' page,
i.e., a family oriented page with training stories of
these dogs is likely to be entertaining yet still giving
insight into breed character. Photos of pets, working,
and/or show dogs are welcome!
- You must edit the html code on
your web page in order to link your site to this ring.
Put the code on the page that has the ASD content; it
should be easy for the average person to navigate their
way back to the WebRing link to continue a circuit of the
ring.
- The Ringmaster of this WebRing does not necessarily
endorse any or all individuals, breeders, organizations,
or other entities which join the ring. However the
Ringmaster does make every reasonable attempt to assure
that the Anatolian Shepherd Dog WebRing contains subject
appropriate to family and of benefit to the breed.
- Your site must be "G" rated
and contain legal material. No adult material or
links
to anything that is
adult in nature, nor endorsements of anything
that is of illegal
content or of
questionable ethics. This is a
family oriented WebRing.
- Any site that is listed must NOT be
involved in brokering, puppy milling and sales to
pet shops. If any listing is reported to be the
source of Anatolians that are abused, neglected,
or directly involved with the production of dogs
(pure and not) that must be handled by Rescue
services, site participation on this WebRing will
be terminated.
- Your Anatolian Webring Page should
have no broken links.
- Your Anatolian Webring Page should
not be primarily only a collection of other
WebRings
- Your Anatolian Webring Page should
not be purely commercial in nature -- such as
"hallway" or "front-door"
pages for sites NOT specifically
featuring Anatolian breed-related materials or
information.
- It is tremendous work to keep up with each website and
every link, so if there is a reported problem with one or
more sites, sites in question may be removed from the
ring. Sites containing
illegal material may be removed with or without notice!
- The Ringmaster reserves the
right use personal discretion to accept or decline any
site.
How to Join
- Submit your site to the Anatolian Shepherd Dog WebRing
Queue, via the JOIN button of the Anatolian
Webring. There
are two types of fragments you can use in the webring.
(You will get an email containing an HTML fragment that
is already customized with your site ID number).
This is the type ring code logo that comes automatically from
the webring.If you want to have the bigger fancier one such as at
the bottom of this page, then follow the remaining directions
- Download the two Logo images below.
- Put the images into your webpage directory.
Send me the ringID number of your anatolianring
site.
- Insert the HTML coding sent you by the ringmaster into
your web page.
- When you get done with all that, you should have the
WebRing Logo on your page with no broken links and the
images correctly referenced.
- After completing all the steps given,
please email me
and let me know your page is ready to be critiqued.
The addition of your webpage to the
Anatolian Shepherd Dog WebRing is NOT
automatic. Your site will first go into a group
queue. This gives you time to complete the coding and do your
self-critique. The WebRingmaster does NOT code your pages for
you, so if after about 30 days of submitting your request to the
Queue to join the ring, and if your page content is not yet
ready, your request is automatically removed from the Queue. You
can resubmit your request for addition, if you just needed more
time to 'get it right..
After Ringmaster gets your email stating that your site is
ready for critique; if the HTML fragment is up; if the Anatolian
WebRing logo is on your page, and your site has appropriate
content--the Ringmaster will add your site to the WebRing. The
ring is not checked on a daily basis, and occasionally one or
more functions of the WebRing service may have server problems,
so there may be some waiting involved. Patience helps!
Go to the Webring
site of your ID to edit. You can change your site
location, your email address and other info you initially gave
for your site.
