What to do now
2nd What to do now
After you have submitted your website to the webring, you need to add the HoH Webring banner to your homepage. Your website will not become part of the webring until you have done this, and I have checked it, and added your website to the webring.
To do this you need to copy and paste a piece of HTML code into your webpage.
First, save this page as a HTML file and/or print it, so that you can read it offline if necessary.
Right-click the 'ear image' below, and save it to a subdirectory of the same folder as your webpage called images - if you haven't already got one of these you will need to make one, or change the image properties, so that the path to the image is correct..
Select the HTML code below, and copy it (CTRL + C)

Next, open your homepage in your web editor - for example, MS Frontpage, NS Composer, Claris Homepage or similiar.
Move the cursor to the bottom of the page. Now select view HTML source (or similiar).
You should now be able to see a pile of HTML code.
Select paste to paste (CTRL + V) the code into your homepage. Now you need to change a few bits of it so that it suits your webpages correctly.
Where it says 'mailto:youremailaddress', change the youremailaddress part to your own email address.
Where it says 'yourname' change it to your name.
Change all references that say 'id=??' to your site id (eg id=100) - you were given this when you joined the webring.
Finally, change back to view, edit page, or similiar to see your changed homepage, then upload it to your webserver as usual.
If you have any problems, please email me. If you email me when you have added the banner, I will be able to add your site to the ring much more quickly than if you wait for me to spot it!!!
