What is the Dutch American K-1 WebRing?

The Dutch American K-1 WebRing is a totally free service offered to the Internet community. Through the Webring we provide the Internet community with a different way to organize content on the World Wide Web. The Dutch American K-1 WebRing is a way to group together sites with similar content by linking them together in a circular fashion: a ring.

The idea is that once you are at one site in the "ring," you can click on a "Next" or "Previous" link to go to the next site in the ring and--if you do it long enough--end up where you started.

Obviously, this is something that anyone simply by getting together with a few other people and having each person add a link to their page pointing to the next person in the loop. However, when somebody wants to join the ring, someone has to edit their page to point to the new page and--when the ring gets big enough--it becomes more and more difficult to keep the ring "intact" when pages go down or drops out.

A Ring provides a solution to all of these problems, as well as numerous enhancements. When you join the Dutch American K-1 WebRing, the HTML code on your home page never changes. Links point to a special CGI script that will send people to the next (or previous) site in the ring. Because the central ring database is located in one location, sites can be added and removed quickly and easily, and because the script allows you go continue past sites that are unreachable, you will always be able to continue around the loop.

People can travel a ring in either direction, either jumping to (or skipping) the next site or previous site, jump to a random site in the ring, or simply get a list of all pages in the loop. And, best of all, the Dutch American K-1 WebRing is entirely free!
