Subject: New Webring created!
Date: Fri, 26 Sep 1997 08:22:27 -0400 (EDT)

I have just created a Webring called "Metropolitans on the Web".  For
those of you who are unfamiliar with web rings, they link sites with
similar content via code on each site's page.  It's an "advanced" and
organized way of linking to other similar sites.

If anyone is interested, please e-mail me privately (not to the entire
list) at corvi29@smart.net .

I have just set up the ring and am in the process of getting all of the
administrative details in order.  You can also visit my web site at
www.zeebyrd.com/nashmet/index.html - I will update my site with the
webring details as soon as I get them in order, hopefully later today or
early tomorrow.

If you join the ring, you make your site more visible to others, Met
owners and non-owners.  You will meet other Met owners, people who would
like to be Met owners, and have a bit of fun in the process.  If a site
has no Met content whatsoever or contains offensive content, it will not
be added to the ring.  This is a rated "G" ring.  

Joining the ring is simple - once you place the html code that you are 
given upon joining the ring into your web page, you do nothing from that
point forward!  As the "Ringmaster" , I take care of all administrative
work - making sure that submissions to the ring conform to the 
Metropolitan content.  If your site is related to Metropolitans, this ring
is for you!  

The ring costs nothing to maintain, except my "sweat and labor".  
BTW, I also do not make anything from it - just the fun of getting all Met
owners and pages together.  Also, please understand that the ring will not
in any way take anything from this list or individual web sites.  In fact,
it will probably enhance this list and your sites - it has the potential
for bringing additional traffic to both.

If you have any questions about how a ring works or anything else about
the ring, please e-mail me privately at corvi29@smart.net .  I'll be glad
to help and provide whatever info you need.

If you do not currently have a web site about your Met or Mets in general,
but would like to design one and need help, please contact me.  There are
many sites online that offer FREE web space to which I can direct you.  I
can also offer help in designing your site, scan photos, etc. at no
charge.

Thank you for your time.  I look forward to hearing from those of you
interested in joining the ring.  Together we can make this ring work!
