How to join the Female Computer Nerds Webring

The Female Computer Nerds Webring, is a group of sites,
or webring ('ring' for short),
held together by a shared connection;
We're female, We're NERDS, and most importantly,
WE'RE PROUD OF IT.

Webrings group sites with similar content by linking them together in a circle, or ring. Once a visitor arrives at one site in the webring, they can click on a "Next" or "Previous" link to go to adjacent sites in the ring and, if they do it long enough, end up where they started. Each site in a specific webring displays identical code and graphics to facilitate ring surfing. Special thanks goes to Sage Weil and the original WebRing, without whom this Female Computer Nerds Webring would not exist.

The Female Computer Nerds Webring is only for pages of, well, female computer nerds. They may be personal home pages or business sites. The webring may be placed on a page which is devoted to the work or computer activities of a female computer nerd, but it may be part of a larger site, devoted to other topics. The Female Computer Nerds Webring is meant to increase the community of femeale computer nerds by linking up our sites. If you are not sure if you page qualifies for the ring, you may write to the webmaster for further information or to have your site reviewed for appropriateness..

This is a family and community orientated ring and not for sites adult in nature. Sites included in the ring should be of general interest and appropriate for a general audience. Also, all ring members are expected to be good net citizens. This means that our members do not direct link their graphics from other sites, all graphics used on member sites should be located at the site's ISP. Sites are also expected to comply with copyright and usage limitations. All sites should have some relevance to the work of one or more female computer nerds.

How to Join the Ring

If you have a website that meets the requirements above, and if you are interested in joining the Female Computer Nerds Webring, please follow the steps below. Please read them ALL before you register with the Female Computer Nerds Webring, then follow them closely. If you have trouble with any of the steps, e-mail the ring's webmaster for help.

. The Female Computer Nerds Webring Logo
Our logo is used to identify Female Computer Nerds Webring members, and so should only be used on websites for this purpose. You may reduce the size of the logo, but not alter the logo itself. Please Note:: You must place the Female Computer Nerds Webring Logo at your own provider. You may NOT link to the logo on this server.
If you are on WEB-TV: The no-direct-linking applies to you as well. You will need to make arrangements to get the file uploaded to your ISP somehow.

Then you register with the ring.

The page you register MUST be the page that will actually contain the Female Computer Nerds Webring code and logo. Don't register your main page unless it will be the page that displays the webring logo.
