What is the All Chevy Webring?

This is a collection of sites with information that is related to Chevrolet cars.

The webring system is new and the people in charge of the webring are still suffering a few 'growing pains', so I should say that it is not always available. Hopefully its just a matter of time until everything is smooth (we hope!)

We are attempting to create a 'ring' of Chevrolet sites so that finding one site means that you have found most of them. Searching the internet for Chevrolet(s) turns up lots of information about sites that have lots of info - no info - duplicates - or dead ends. All of the sites in this Chevrolet ring will have fresh, relevant information about our hobby.

How to Join

Joining is simple, easy, and of course..... FREE! There are a few steps to follow, and they are important. Please follow them carefully to avoid complications with the entire 'ring'.
The benefits of belonging should be obvious to all. Traffic to the all the sites will increase, information will be easier to get to, and everyone wins.

• Make sure that your site qualifies

• If you are a Chevrolet Club you're inivited.
• Your site is directly related to Chevrolets.
• Your site is NOT a commercial enterprise (unless you have some good information as well as your product.).
• The page that you 'register' is the one that will be referenced from the 'ring'. This must be the one that has the 'ring' information on it. More on that below.
• The images used need to be copied to your pages. Please do not link directly to these ones. The code is set for having the images in the same directory as your file, but you are welcome to place them wherever you feel they belong.
• Home pages usually do not qualify if its not an information source. Please have some extra information on them before joining.

Now comes the time to register your page.

This is a bit strange at first, but it works fine. Follow me on this: When you register below, your information is sent to the server and is held 'in queue', at this time it notifies me that you wish to be added and also assigns you a site ID number. Now don't give up! This is all for a good cause, remember? I was intimidated when I first ran into this program and thought 'what is all this farting around for... just add me or forget it!' It really is a good system though, and I believe it has a strong future, especially for sites like ours that are fairly close-knit.

Submit site to All Chevy Webring
Site Title:
Site URL:
E-mail:
Password:	Please choose a password. (Don't forget it!!)
Keywords:	Enter up to 20 keywords to describe your site.
Description:	Enter a short description of your site.

When you hit enter, you will be given a unique site ID number. Write that number down somewhere. Add the HTML coding below to the page which you have just registered. The purpose of the ring is to link chevrolet pages together, and the link needs to be on the main area. Place it anywhere you like, most of these 'rings' want the link at the top, but I feel its your page and your work, so let's aim for the bottom of the page where its easy to find after they have had a peek at your offerings.

Now.... 'right click' on this image

and save it as mtrball.gif in the same directory that your page is in.

Note: If you do not wish to use this image, you may place anything you like on your page in its place.

This is how the above mess translates out as finished.

Be sure and change the following:

• YOUR-EMAIL-ADDRESS this should be the site's owner.... YOU!
• YOUR-SITE-ID Replace this with the Site ID that was returned when you register(ed)
• If you are into using frames..... well, of course it's more work! You have to edit all the references to include the TARGET="_top" and add all this code to your NO FRAMES section. But you will enjoy doing this..... you must like it if you are messing with a pile of those frames in the FIRST place.....

WELL, almost done, now just send me an email and tell me that you stuck it out this far and that the code is on your page. I will need your ID number that you got when you registered. If things check out OK with the server, then bingo, we're all done.

Maintaining Your Link

If you ever have to modify the information, well, that's taken care of right here! (Thats why you have a password)
