Congratulations to Cynthia Nord, winner of Round 1 of the Iron WebMaster competition. Thanks to all you WebRing members who participated in the Voting Phase. Speaking of participation...
Introducing the Activity Score
If you've logged into your WebRing account lately, you probably noticed a new stat on your account page: Activity Score!
What exactly is an Activity Score?
Your WebRing activity score gauges your level of involvement on the overall WebRing system. Put simply: low scores reflect low use, while high scores reflect super-users. And, it's easier than you think to earn activity points:
- Access WebRing at least once a day.
- Manage your Community(ies).
- Help manage a community ring.
- Add sites and edit sites.
- Tell friends.
- Invite friends. Earn more points if they click the link.
- Preview and rate sites in rings...
In short, nearly every thing you do on WebRing will earn you points. So start using WebRing today and raise your Activity Score! For more details, click here.

Multiple URLs Require Multiple NavBars
In our last Tech Tip, we shared some strategies for joining multiple WebRing Communities using only 1 NavBar. In that post, we told you that "when it comes to placing SSNB NavBars on your web page (URL), once is enough!" In this post, we're going to explain and guide you through the exception to that rule.
You must add the NavBar to each new URL you register.
Here's an example of what we mean:
Sandra runs an ecommerce site that sells a wide variety of products, from t-shirts to candles to posters of rock stars. She has dedicated a page to each type of item she sells, as reflected in her site menu.
To gain maximum site exposure, we recommend that Sandra add 4 NavBars to her site, one to her front page and one on each of her various product pages. There are two approaches she can take to adding the SSNB NavBar to the URLs she registers. She can either:
Place the "default" NavBar on each page she registers from her My Account page. To do this, she scrolls down to find the hyperlinked text that reads "enter web site information," then fills out the form pages that follow. When she's completed, the system will present her with the code for the default NavBar, which she should place on the URL she just added to her account. Now as soon as she finds a WebRing Community she wants to join, the NavBar will automatically convert that Community's NavBar.
OR
Search first for an appropriate WebRing Community, fill out the "Join Now" application, then copy the Community-specific NavBar code and place it on the URL she just submitted.
To keep it simple:
You need one SSNB NavBar on each and every URL you have registered in your WebRing account.
AND
Each NavBar is specific to a URL. If you copy the NavBar from one page on your overall site onto another page of your site, the NavBar will not work correctly.

FreeRice.com

The folks from Poverty.com have created a unique food program - FreeRice.com. The idea is simple: Build your vocabulary while feeding hungry people around the world. The site offers a word with four definitions. For each correct answer, FreeRice donates 20 grains of rice to the United Nation's program to end world hunger. It's that simple.
Make a difference without ever leaving your computer: FreeRice.com
