What This Ring Is All About
Why? Another ring -- just what the world needs? Maybe not, but if you've spent any time at all attempting to get a cool refreshing sip of the saner side of the WWW via the WebRing system, then you'll probably agree that, while nothing short of brilliant in theory, the experience is only as good as its components. If a ring is already in existence which offers a diverse sampling of excellence in personal home pages presented in highly digestible one-swallow-at-a-time increments, I have yet to find it. And I'm a pretty darn good sleuth.
Who? That's the reason I thought some of you might share a veteran webhead's vision of an ideal surfing session: that is, an easily-navigated collection of carefully-selected, fast-loading, family-friendly, content-rich, noncommercial pages on an unexpected variety of themes. (In other words, a sort of back-door bunny-hop geared for folks who, with good reason, normally wouldn't have the patience required for web ring travel.) I am therefore launching the Vetsurfers' Quicker Clicker Picker purely for the purpose of promoting single-page items of general interest to the click-happy, free-grazing public. Unless I see a compelling reason to make an occasional exception, this ring will contain only:
- original material
- presented on flawlessly-designed pages
- that are self-contained in the sense that the content does not rely on links (for example, not an index page)
- loading on average in 15 seconds or less at the most common modem speed (28.8)
- and involving preferably no more than three screenfuls of scrolling
The lofty plan is to slowly cultivate a unique balanced blend of creative writings, helpful hints, humor, trivia, poetry, philosophy, wit, wisdom, visual delights, and yet-to-be-conceived ideas that represent the very finest of the Internet community's individual contributions to the World Wide Web's wealth of available resources. (And here are just a few of the things you WON'T encounter in the VQC: dead links, no-escape frames, pop-up ads, sloppy editing, bloated graphics, copycatted content, or anything commonly considered unfit for consumption in polite society.)
How? If you have a something of interest to show the world on a page that meets these simple criteria, then I invite you to become a part of this fledgling fellowship of quality quick picks. Pages will be chosen from the queue at my sole stickler-for-detail discretion ... but don't worry, if I wasn't easily entertained I wouldn't be doing this. Here's the sign-up form, followed by the code to be placed on the page you submit. Feel free to alter its appearance to suit yourself, as long as the standard links and ring recognition factors are left intact.
