our WebRing

Welcome to the Userland Frontier WebRing home page.

The Userland Frontier WebRing is for us to share tips and software that'll make the experience of using Frontier more pleasant.

This page is here to help you decide whether your page is appropriate for the webring (perhaps it belongs on another webring). If you decide your page is appropriate, submit your page with the form provided below. Then grab one of the HTML fragments provided and place it on your page. That way folks can hop, skip, and jump to and from your page via the webring.

Okay? Let's start.

Is this webring appropriate for your web page?

If you have a web page with tips on using Frontier, or a narrative about how you used Frontier, or code you've written that you want to share with others, then by all means add your page to this webring.

If, on the other hand, you've used Frontier to create a really cool web page, but the page is about horses or hot-air balloons or hamachi, please add your page to another, more appropriate webring about that topic.

Adding the required HTML to your page

Each page on a webring must give readers a means of navigating that webring. This is done with a snippet of HTML placed at the bottom of each page in the webring. It's customary for webring administrators to provide said snippet. Here's the HTML that I prefer you use:

<hr noshade size="1">
<center>
<table width="90%" cellpadding="5">
 <tr>
  <td align="right" width="45%">
   <font face="geneva,arial" size="-2">
    This page is part of the
    <a href="http://www.GeekTimes.com/michael/frontier/webring.html">Userland Frontier WebRing</a>.
   </font></td>
  <td align="center" width="20%">
   <img src="http://www.GeekTimes.com/michael/frontier/images/anim-frontier-webring.gif"
   alt="logo" height="128" width="236" border="0"></td>
  <td width="45%"><font face="geneva,arial" size="-2">
   <a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?list&ring=frontier">List</a> all this webring's pages;
   <a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?random&ring=frontier">visit</a> another page;
   <a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?home&ring=frontier">add</a> your page to this webring.
   </font></td>
 </tr>

Protecting Userland's trademarks and reputation

Robert Bierman said (in an email dated 3 August 1998) that his job included protecting Userland's "trademarks, copyrights, intellectual property rights, and reputation". To that end he was most interested in ensuring that independent web pages don't give the impression that they are somehow part of or endorsed by UserLand Software. (He also mentioned that" all UserLand graphics, including but not limited to the cowboy on the horse, the cactus, and the picture of Dave Winer" was not allowed. The "site scripted with" logo is only allowed in it's unaltered form and with a live [Macro error: There is no glossary entry named "Userland Frontier"] .)

My web pages are the product of independent efforts, neither associated with nor endorsed by Userland Software, Inc. What better way to draw attention to this fact than with the following Rubber Stamp (get it?) graphics (which may be seen in full size around these pages), which I hereby place into the public domain for all to use.

These graphics should stamp out (get it?) any unintended conclusions on the part of web surfers. The links under the Rubber Stamp thumbnails will lead you to the respective Adobe PhotoShop document. Change the background as appropriate to your site so the anti-aliasing will work. Add layers, such as title elements or your own graphics. Use something like Boxtop Software's PhotoGIF - my choice - to combine them all into a transparent GIF. The layered source of the animated GIF used below is available to you.

What to do after you fill in the form below?

Create a web page about Userland Frontier. Remember your audience. Make it easy to read and worth reading. When you find another page about Userland Frontier that's not on the webring you might want to point the webmaster to this page, so that they join up. There's power in numbers.
