What is a webring?

A webring, as the name applies, is a way that allows people to surf through websites sharing a common theme.

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 anyone continually pressing the "next" link on the navpanel, will eventually end up at the starting website. The reason for being referred to as a "webring".

Each webring is created and maintained by a person known as a ringmaster.
The ringmaster is the sole arbitrator of whether or not a website belongs in a webring. The ringmaster accepts site submissions, validates that the site meets the topic of the webring and that the site has installed the webring code properly. The webring belongs to the ringmaster who will always have the final decision.

A well run webrings deliver a highly targeted visitors to a site. This is because the people surfing the ring are looking for sites pertaining to the ring's topic.

Can ringmasters customize their rings?

Yes, ringmasters can customize their rings.
They can redesign their ring's homepage and the navpanel.

What specifically can be included in a webring's navpanel?

The navpanel can include whatever the ringmaster wishes to include. It can be images, links, tables, or anything else that they would wish to see included.
