It currently allows you to manage your webring/s in several different languages (Currently those languages are Chinese (big5), Danish, Dutch, English, French, Swedish, German, Japanese, Russian, Turkish, and Spanish).</p>
46:
47: <p class="content">This is a family oriented webring system (no adult-xxx illegal hate warez spam rings or sites are permitted), that welcomes all Ringmasters who wish to host their webring/s on a webring system that is free of all advertisements of any kind!</p>

49: <p class="content">This is not a Link Listing service, but a Webring System. A system that allows visitors to surf a webring using a ring's navpanel. If you are not prepared to host a ring's navpanel on your website, then please do not join any of the rings that are hosted here on ~YOUR WEBRING SYSTEM'S NAME~.</p>
50:
51: <p class="content">New Rings must be actively managed, and have at least 3 member websites within 3 months of the ring having been created. Otherwise they will be deleted.</p>

57: <span class="subring">What is a webring?</span><br /><br />
58:
59: <span class="content">A webring is an interesting idea in that it allows people to surf through websites which are related in one way or another. <img src="pics/aniringdemo.gif" vspace="5" alt="How a webring works" style="float: right; border:2px outset #ffffff; background-image: url(pics/background.gif)" width="177" hspace="5" height="136" border="0" /> Surfers navigate the webring by clicking on the "next", "previous", or "random" links as found on a webring's navpanel (which is displayed somewhere on each of that webring's member websites). The idea is that if you continually press the "next" link on the navpanel, you will eventually end up at the website you started from. This is why it is called a <i>"webring"</i>.<br /><a href="testing/">Click here</a> to see a working example of a webring.</span><br /><br />
60:
61: <span class="content">Each webring is created and maintained by a person known as a ringmaster. This person accepts site submissions, validates that the site meets the topic of the webring and that the site has installed the webring code properly. The ringmaster is the sole arbitrator of whether or not a website belongs in that webring! After all, it is his or her webring, and they are in total command.</span><br /><br />
62:
63: <span class="content">The cool thing about well run webrings is that they tend to deliver highly targeted visitors to your site. This is because the people surfing the ring are actually looking for sites pertaining to the ring's topic.</span><br /><br />
64:
65: <span class="subring">Can ringmasters customize their rings?</span><br /><br />
66:
67: <span class="content">Yes, ringmasters can customize their rings however they want. They can also design their ring's navpanel in any manner they wish (a design that often reflects the topic of the webring). They also have access to their member's email addresses, total control over the design of their webring's homepages, and various other design options within the webring program that powers their webring.</span><br /><br />
68:
69: <span class="subring">What specifically can be included<br />in a webring's navpanel?</span><br /><br />
70:
71: <span class="content">The navpanel may include images, links, tables, email addresses (not advisable - spam concerns), and anything else that they would wish to see included. In short pretty much whatever the ringmaster wishes to include in the design of their webring's navpanel. What are the commands that can be used to navigate the webring you ask? The Ringlink program that powers ~YOUR WEBRING SYSTEM'S NAME~ supports the following:</span>
