AmigaRing
A week or so ago, I received an e-mail from Chuck Patterson, who maintains the
AmigaRing, informing me of his Amiga Ring, after noticing one of my web pages
on ClickBOOM's Amiga Ring and also voiced concerns about the ClickBOOM Amiga
Ring's graphics, which didn't mention anything about the Amiga and that there it
was more of ClickBOOM commerical ring than an Amiga Ring. On surfing through
Amiga web pages for a couple of years, I've run in to the AmigaRing many times
over and even though I've been maintaining at least one web page for year, it was
until I heard of the ClickBOOM's Amiga Ring, that I became a member of that ring
and never thought of becoming a member of the AmigaRing has there has been a
lot of fuss made about ClickBOOM's Amiga Ring, since it's appearence, few months
ago. But, from now, I will pledging my support to the AmigaRing as well as
ClickBOOM's Amiga Ring for as long as both around.
Well, after receiving this e-mail, I checked out the AmigaRing web page at Joining the
AmigaRing!
NOTE: Many people have been attempting to join the ring
without following all of the steps below. You cannot just add yourself to the ring
without having the appropriate code & images. PLEASE follow the directions
CLOSELY. You must have the code & images on your page BEFORE joining the
ring (and preferably before applying).
Here are the steps that need to be followed to join the
AmigaRing. Please follow them closely to preserve the
integrity of the ring! If you have any questions, feel free to email me at midian@azstarnet.com.
- Save the images that is within the HTML fragment, you should be able to
RIGHT-CLICK the image and select SAVE IMAGE to download it, then upload it to
the server where your web page is. Please do not reference it from another server
without permission.
- Copy the following HTML code fragment to your web page where you want
the links to go. After you submit your site, this code will be sent to you in Email
so you can COPY and PASTE it if you prefer.

- Click here to fill out the form,
submitting your page to the AmigaRing queue. Please note this does not insert you into the ring! It just registers
you with the program and assigns you a site ID number.
- After filling out the form, you will receive your site ID
number. Write it down.
- You will see six sections in the HTML that have underscored areas ("_____").
Replace ALL of these with your SITE ID number. For example, if your site ID is 10,
the href should be something like: http://www.webring.org/cgi-
bin/webring?ring=amiga;id=10;next.
- Now, to be added to AmigaRing, you need to e-mail the owner of any
existing AmigaRing site and have him/her add you to the ring. Make sure to
include your site ID number. To keep the time that your page is up without links to
a minimum, you may want to contact the owner of a site if you know where they
are.
- The person that you requested to add you to the ring should do
so...(he/she'll most likely visit your web first), then they should send you an E-mail
confirming it. Then... you're DONE! :)
Special Note: If you
have the desire, feel free to design your own layout that is more appropriate to
your web page. Not all image themes will match everyone's page. The only
limitation is that the links relate to what they are for and are easy to find. If your
web page is text based, feel free to use a text layout. Before using the images and
layout designed by someone else on the ring, be sure to send them email and ask
their permission.
Adding someone
to the AmigaRing!
If you are a member of the
AmigaRing, you can add other peoples' pages to the ring too. To do so, type their
Site ID in the field below and click on the Test button.
Important
Notes!
- Remember that the only pages that are applicable to the
ring are pages whose content has to do with the "Amiga". Never link a page that
does not contain said content.
- If you get mail from someone asking to be added to the
ring, check their page first!! Make sure that the content is appropriate and that they
have added the HTML fragment, the appropriate images, and everything else
necessary. Also make sure that all of their AmigaRing related links are created
properly.
- If you add someone to the ring, please E-Mail the person
to tell them that their site has been added.

I hope that every Amiga web page will become a part of Chuck Patterson's
AmigaRing and I wonder does anybody out there know how many sites are in
ClickBOOM's Amiga Ring?
