| About this Ring |
 |
| The Quaker WebRing links together sites with a Quaker (as in the Religious Society of Friends) interest. Sites joining the ring should be owned by people who are attenders or members at Quaker meetings. The themes of the sites could cover the Quaker movement, spirituality, peace issues, social action, history, Quaker businesses but always in the context of the Quaker movement. |

Site Migration
The ring currently includes more than a dozen sites that are "grandfathered in." These sites have Site ID numbers (1- or 2-digit number between 1 and 62), but have not yet been "migrated" from Yahoo to the new web-ring system. To "migrate" and get the correct string of javascript code, there are three steps:
- Sign up for a WebRing User ID, if you don't have one already.
- Logged in with your (new) User ID, associate it with your site that was part of the Yahoo system.
- Still logged in with your User Id, get the SSNB code for the site (the javascript code).
First, sign up for your WebRing User ID (login name) Click here. Just a few pieces of information are needed to establish a new User ID -- mainly your email address and a birthdate -- quite different from the much larger set of information Yahoo asked of prospective users. The birthdate, presumably, is for verification purposes later, so if you don't give your own birthdate at least make sure you don't forget what date you gave. (Anyone with questions about the Quaker truth testimony is welcome to contact me -kw- to explain why these companies should be collecting such information...)
Now, having logged in with your (new) User ID (the system uses cookies track you), click here to associate your site from the Yahoo WebRing system to your WebRing User ID. You will be asked for Ring ID (which is quakers), Site ID (the 1- or 2-digit number), and a password. The password, presumably, is the same one you had with with Yahoo. [Can someone who goes through this process confirm that with me?]
If you've established a User ID with them, and you can't figure out how to get your site recognized as one that's on the ring already, contact the Quaker WebRing manager.
At this point, as long as you're still logged in with the User ID, you should be able to find the so-called SSNB code for your page. If not, log out and then in again, and look for the links to 'View Ring Sites,' then the Site title, and then 'Get Navigation Code.' Alternatively, you can avoid using the javascript by taking the second approach (logo-and-links). Use the Ring ID (Quakers) and the Site ID number (the 'search page' is one way to find them), and use the HTML code above, or a variation, to produce the necessary links for your site.
For "grandfathered" site owners who choose not to migrate, it is possible to take the second approach (logo-and-links) without establishing a new WebRing User ID. Find your Site ID number using the 'search page.' Note that if you don't register, the Ring Manager may find it harder to reach you by email, and you won't have access to other simplified functions that are available to registered users.
Submitting new sites to be on the WebRing requires first that a User ID be established. Once that's been done, and the site has been submitted for consideration, you can use either approach to produce the necessary WebRing links.
