hi gang i've been exchanging thoughts with a relative newbie sibling about the nitty gritty details of a webring and thought it might help others if i share them comments are certainly welcome i'm just trying to keep pace with the fast flying finch! hmmm... i just remembered our 'list mom' barb patterson is away this week... she told us to look after ourselves... janet **** >is it possible to interconnect this WebRing with the world? >or at least get mentioned on their Links Pages?... the real world meaning who? i'm thinking of a newbie parkie or cg jumping 'green' into the web and going to a search site like yahoo and doing a search for parkinson's they'll come up with a lot of 'hits' or matches and if even just one of them happens to be on the wpwp bingo! i don't think general medical sites are that critical for wpwp i think it's important for us as a cyber family to get as many of us as possible and get the thing to grow... and then... [rome wasn't built in a day, you know...] ...we probably would have the "biggies" knocking on our door asking to be allowed in! i think one way to generate and maintain interest among listmembers is for maybe jerry to periodically update the list as to the numbers of siblings on the webring - hey - that means he'd be ringmaster! >if we just connect with ourselves >we will just spin in a circle true but here's the thing: any one of the potential links already has connections or references to it so we are not plugging into just one site at a time we are plugging into part of an existing network each time ***** janet paterson 51/10 - sinemet/selegiline/prozac almonte/ontario/canada - [log in to unmask]
