A webring in general is a collection of websites from around the Internet joined together in a circular structure. When used to improve search engine rankings, webrings can be considered a search engine optimization technique.

To be a part of the webring, each site has a common navigation bar; it contains links to the previous and next site. By clicking next (or previous) repeatedly, the surfer will eventually reach the site they started at; this is the origin of the term webring. However, the click-through route around the ring is usually supplemented by a central site with links to all member-sites; this prevents the ring from breaking completely if a member site goes offline.

Webrings are usually organized around a specific theme, often educational or social. Web rings usually have a moderator who decides which pages to include in the web ring. After approval, webmasters add their pages to the ring by 'linking in' to the ring; this requires adding the necessary HTML or JavaScript to their site.

Lords of the rings web site?
Q. I'm searching for a website that features the Lords of the Rings. Not the movie, the story itself. It is based on the books written by the man himself, but the pictures are taken from the movies. And I was really addicted to it. I stumbled upon it once. But I forgot to save the page because I was rushing and all. And my browser's history feature was disabled at that moment. So I lost it. I've been searching for it using google and yahoo. But I still couldn't find it. It has a green background. Like, dark green. And top has the writings Lords Of the Rings typed using that typical LOTR font. Anyone knows? HELP.

A. I'm afraid, there are tons of LotR websites, many fitting your general description. The first green ones I think of: What kind of contents did they offer? You know, what sections did they have? Anything special? You could also check the Links section on the sites, maybe you find your page there.

Q. I am looking for a particular ring tone that sounds like the windows start up sound for my text messaging
Asked by Kronotric50 - Mon Sep 29 20:09:06 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. www.Ventones .com the best one out there and FREE They are Approved and Certified by most carriers, to allow their customers to make their own free ringtones, and they text it straight to your phone. And they format the ringtone specifically for your phone because they ask you for it right after you sign up. I know because I've used it for my 2 phones, for the last 2 years, and I've gotten a bunch of my friends on it as well
