What this ring is
A WebRing is a bunch of home pages on the same kind of subject, linked in a circle: every member's page has a little box near the bottom with "Prev" and "Next" links, so you can start anywhere and walk all the way around, and a "List Sites" link that brings you here. Nobody owns anybody else's page. The ring just connects them. The Stage Door ring is for anybody on GeoCities.us who makes something: a band, a community theater, a songwriter, a poet, a painter, a photographer, a garage band, a kid with a sketchbook, a lady with a cello. If you get up on a stage, or you make things that other people look at or listen to, or you write about people who do, you belong here. I started it in April 1999 with three sites. We're at eleven now and I'd like to be at twenty by New Year's. The name is from the stage door, the door at the side of a theater where the actors come out after the show and the fans wait. It's where the people who make the thing meet the people who love it. That's the idea. |

How to join
1. Have a page. It needs to be about music, theater, dance, writing, art, photography, or something in that family, and it needs to be up and mostly finished. (An "under construction" sign or two is fine; we all have them. A page that's nothing but the sign isn't ready yet.) 2. Family-friendly only. Nothing you wouldn't show your grandmother. This ring gets visitors of all ages and I want to keep it that way. If I have to explain why your page doesn't qualify, it doesn't. 3. E-mail the ringmaster (that's me, [email protected]) with your page's address, your name the way you want it shown, and one line describing the page. I'll look it over, usually within a few days, and write back with your spot in the ring and the addresses of the sites before and after you. 4. Paste the ring code onto your page, near the bottom, with your name and your Prev and Next links filled in. It looks like this:
5. Tell me when it's up and I'll add you to the list above and let your new neighbors know to update their links. That's it. There are no dues, no meetings, and no rules beyond the ones above. If your page moves or goes away, please tell me so the ring doesn't get a hole in it. The ring button is the standard 88x31 one at /images/buttons/webring.gif; you don't need to copy it, just use that address. The GeoCities.us clip art library has it and a lot else. |
