| Most webrings have a reason for their
existence. Consider that a webring is a special pathway through the
garden of the internet, connecting similar sites together to create an
experience of some kind. That's exactly what a webring is - a little
path through the wilds of the untamed web, allowing surfers to safely
navigate the many dangers and thus gain something from their travels.
In fact, when you think about it, managing a webring properly is a
heck of a lot of work - sometimes it can be as much work as
maintaining a good sized web site. If your ring gets large (over 200
member sites) you may find yourself needing an assistant. Some very
large rings may have several ringmasters and over a dozen assistants.
Once you have decided upon a ring theme and created the fragment
it's time to create the join page (or pages, depending upon how fancy
you want to get). What's a join page? This is the document that your
prospective ring members use to join your ring.
