Are you are a new ROCCS member? Your Nav
Bar
will not
show on your site until I bring your site into
the ring. You
will be notified by Email when your site
is placed in the ring.
If you
have difficulty installing your New
WebRing
Navigation
Bar (Nav Bar), or with migrating your
Yahoo
ID
to the New WebRing, send a description
of
your
problem to:
preacherdeke@hotmail.com.
| Please pay close attention to any "Note:" or any text that has been highlighted in yellow and to all red text. |
If you are new to WebRing and would like to know what the Nav Bar does and what it looks like, this is the ROCCS Home page Nav Bar:
A Site ID number is assigned to each ROCCS member site, and to the links in the Nav Bar. You can see the ROCCS Home page Site ID number right now by placing your mouse cursor on the Nav Bar's Next>> link. The Site ID number, 1, will show in the lower left corner of your browser in a text line which ends with "id=1&next." The Nav Bar's Next>> or <<Prev links connect each ROCCS member site to the previous Site ID number or to the next Site ID in the ring. When a surfer clicks on one of those links, their browser will take them to the next Site ID or previous Site ID number in our ring.
IF you are
applying for membership
in The Ring of Conservative Christian Sites, or ...

Note: Information required for the next form: Ring ID is: cchristian Site ID is: your site ID number. Password is: your Yahoo! ID password.
Your site ID number can be
determined by placing your mouse's cursor on the "Next" navigation link
on your web site's Navigation Bar, or by placing your mouse cursor on
your site's link in the
ROCCS
Ring Hub (
http://i.webring.com/hub?ring=cchristian ). Your Site ID number will
appear at the lower left corner of your browser following the equals
sign ( = ) in the section of text that reads "id=" |
Now you're on Yahoo's WebRIng migration page. Use the form fields at the bottom of the page that look like this:
WebRing Site Owners
If you have a site in a Ring, you will need to
associate your site with the Ring in the new WebRing system. Please do so by
entering your Ring ID, site ID, and password below.
Follow the instructions and links. You will have the opportunity to change your old Yahoo! password if you want when you sign-in with New WebRing.
When you've followed all of the instructions at Yahoo!, you should be finished migrating your data to New WebRing.
Sign-out of Yahoo! and close that browser to be sure you're completely signed-out.
Clicking the WebRing link, below, will again open a new browser. You can minimize it to continue reading these instructions.
Sign-in with New WebRing at:
| Note: Although this New WebRing page looks almost identical to the old Yahoo!WebRing sign-in page, notice that the old "Yahoo!WebRing" logo is gone from the top left of this page. In its place is the New WebRing logo: |
Now, sign-in using the ID and password you just migrated to New WebRing. If you receive an error message follow its instructions or wait for an hour for New WebRing's servers complete your ID's migration and then try signing-in again.
IF you can't sign in to New WebRing after an hour, then something has gone wrong with the migration process. Close your browser, go back to the beginning of this section, sign-in with Yahoo! again, and follow the instructions for migrating your Yahoo! ID again. CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE TOP OF THIS SECTION.
IF you have successfully signed-in with New WebRing you won't see Yahoo! mentioned in their logo at the top right of the page. The New WebRing logo looks like this:
FINAL CHECKS:
If you have successfully completed migration of your Yahoo User ID to New WebRing, and before you do any modifications to your Nav Bar, go to your web site and look at your current Nav Bar. If New WebRing has upgraded it, it will usually be about 50% longer than the old one, but the height will be about the same.
To determine whether or not your site has migrated to New WebRing, there is a simple check you can perform:
If your Nav Bar
has been automatically updated,
placing your mouse cursor on the "Join Now" link
will cause a line of text to
show in the lower left corner of your browser
which looks like the line, below. Compare the yellow highlighted part
of this line to the line from your site's Nav Bar:
http://dir.webring.com/cgi-bin/login?done=/wrman?ring=cchristian&addsite
If your Nav Bar has
NOT been updated
it will contain a Yahoo reference
in the link. Placing your mouse cursor on the "Join
Now" link will cause a line
of text to show in the lower left corner of your browser
which looks like the line, below. Compare the yellow highlighted part
of this line to the line from your site's Nav Bar:
http://edit.webring.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/membercgi?ring=cchristian&addsite
Unless you no longer have a Nav Bar on your site, don't do anything with your current Nav Bar until you've waited for a while. If your Nav Bar has disappeared from your site, notify me by Email immediately. Otherwise ...
New WebRing SHOULD automatically update your Nav Bar's links unless something is wrong. I
Now that you've waited for a few minutes to an hour or two and your Nav Bar is still present on your Site URL page, re-check the "Join Now" link for any reference to Yahoo.
If your Nav Bar is present on your Site URL page, but it still has a Yahoo! reference in the "Join" Now hypertext link, you have three options:
(1) Wait-and-see: Yahoo! will
be deleting all rings and ring-related
ID's from their servers on about January 1, 2002. You can
wait
until that change and see what happens to your Nav Bar when
the change occurs.
(2) Wait for a few hours or even a
day and then check
the Nav Bar's
links for Yahoo references again.
(3) Cut-and paste a New WebRing Nav Bar
using the next set of
instructions after you've waited a while, maybe an hour if you
can afford the time. If you
decide to cut-and-paste a new Nav
Bar now or later, and you need help
with the process, continue
with these instructions.

HOW TO INSTALL THE NAV BAR
| Note: The Nav Bar has changed since Yahoo! sold WebRing in October, 2001. If you have installed a Yahoo! Nav Bar to your site before, you might remember that the top half of the Nav Bar showed until your site was entered into the ring. That is no longer the case. Your New WebRing Nav Bar won't show at all until your site is entered into the ring. I will examine the code to see if it is correct before I enter your site into the ring. If for some reason the Nav Bar fails to display when your site is in the ring, I will TEMPORARILY suspend it and contact you so we can fix the problem. |
Clicking on a link in this step will open a new browser so you can return here for further instructions. If you're ready to install your new Nav Bar, sign-in with New WebRing by clicking here: http://dir.webring.com/rw then follow the steps below:
Click on "MY RINGS" at the top right of the New WebRing page even if you don't own a ring.
On the next page click on "View Web Sites" under the title "MY RINGS" on the left side of the page. It looks like this:
| Member Tools |
|
View Rings
View Ring Sites
View Web Sites
|
Now, click on "View Ring Sites" or click on the new link that says "Go HERE if you want to see/manage/edit the Sites that you have in other Rings, or if you want to get navigation code for your web site"
| Note: Follow any "Tip:" or "Hint:" on this page. New WebRing has been adding new links and useful information to this page. They may be time-savers. Don't hesitate to use them. |
Part of the next page will look like this:
|
||||||||||
| Note: Follow any "Tip:" and "Hint:" on this page. New WebRing has been adding new links and useful information to this area as well. You may be able to automatically update your Nav Bar without your having to cut-and-paste the Nav Bar code. Don't hesitate to try the links, but be sure to check your Nav Bar before you exit New WebRing. The JOIN and other links on your Nav Bar will not link to Yahoo! if you've correctly updated it. |
If you have checked your Site URL page and the links that New WebRing has provided haven't updated your Nav Bar, click on "your web site's title" next to our Ring Title, Ring of Conservative Christian Sites.
| Note: Be certain to click on your site where it is listed next to "Ring of Conservative Christian Sites" or you will get the wrong Nav Bar. |
The left sidebar of the next page will look like this:
|
Click on "Get Navigation Code" and copy the Nav Bar code for your website. Next, paste it to your Site URL page. That's all there is to it. If you run into problems, let me know and I'll try to help.
Finally, if you want an update on what's going on with the migration to New WebRing, there are some answers on these pages:
