The code for this webring is very simple! It requires a url that contains two values: a "siteid" and an "action." (Examples below.)
You must be an active member of the webring in order for this code to work properly for your site. This code requires that you have been assigned a unique site ID for your webring member website. Don't have a site ID? Request membership here!
If you've already been approved but your site ID is generating an error, remember that I must manually activate your website in the site listing. Please notify me that the webring code is in place on your site so that you can become an active webring member!

The Base URL
All webring links MUST begin with this code:
http://eq2.lunaclick.net/webring/webring.php
The "siteid"
The next portion of the URL contains your individual site ID. (I'm using "123" here as an example; you should replace it with your own site ID.) This portion is used to determine where your website falls in the site listing. This value is used to calculate the next and previous sites in the list in relation to your site. It MUST begin with a question mark ("?"):
?siteid=123
The "action"
The next portion of the URL contains your desired action. (I'm using "next" here as an example.) This portion tells the webring script which website should be shown next. It MUST begin with an ampersand ("&"):
&action=next
Put It All Together...
When it's all strung together, your example URL should look like this:
http://eq2.lunaclick.net/webring/webring.php?siteid=123&action=next
Examples
You can create links with these URLs to wrap around text or images. This is an example of a text link:
<a href="http://eq2.lunaclick.net/webring/webring.php?siteid=123&action=next">Next Site</a>
The result will look like this: Next
Site
And here's an example of a linked image:
<a href="http://eq2.lunaclick.net/webring/webring.php?siteid=123&action=next"><img src="/images/myimage.jpg" width="10" height="10" border="0" alt="Next" /></a>
Take a look at the bottom of this page to see how a series of linked images will work as a webring navigation bar.
You're encouraged to make your own webring graphics to use with the code. The graphics can follow any theme you wish; you're only limited by your own creativity!
