This guide began its purpose for those members or prospective members of
any of the Schoolhouse Webrings (listed left) that
are unfamiliar with HTML editing. Since its first publication, this guide
has been revised several times to accommodate the major changes within the
"webring" system community over the past several years. As a result of those
changes, the Schoolhouse
Webrings are served by both WebRing and Ring Surf systems. For this guide to
be of use to you, please verify which system serves the individual
ring you have joined. The logo of the hosting system is plainly
visible at the top on the join pages for each version of the
individual rings.

General Expectations & Ring
Terminology: Certain requirements must be
met to become a member of a Net/Web Ring. This section outlines
some of the basics and provides a glossary of terms used for
ring systems.
-
HTML Basics:
Provides an overview to clarify procedures and ease the
installation process of the HTML or SSNB code fragment. Unfortunately,
there are far too many different brands of web page editors out
there to begin a tutorial for each and every one of them.
However, the steps described here should offer some guidance and
an explanation of terms. The rest will be up to you to apply
them to your specific brand of editor or web publishing tool.

RingSurf NetRing Guide: The
"Frequently Asked Questions" page, covers a wide range
of topics where members have expressed confusion on issues or
needed clarification of procedures. Make sure you check this
page if you are unable to find the answer to your problem
elsewhere on this site.

WebRing Guide:
Describes the overall procedure for joining a ring on the
Webring system. Everything from how to obtain an ID to managing
your site is explained here. The WebRing system is extremely
easy to use, but a little extra explanation might provide that
boost for your happy ring membership.
The two "Links" groupings are self
explanatory. 'Ring Links', refers to links to my individual ring home pages, their hub listings, and other links for more
information sources. The 'Webring Links' provides easy access to
main features of the Webring system.
I hope you find this site informative and helpful.
