If you are new to the internet please don't join until you own your
own web page and are familiar with the way the internet works. Please do
not try and sign up using your internet provider's website as your homepage.
What is a Netring?
A netring is a way of linking web sites that have a similar theme, this
one being free knitting patterns.
Each member of the netring displays a netring link on their page which
allows visitors to link directly to other pages with the same topic. This
guarantees that the next site they visit will be of interest to them and
will have valuable content. It also eliminates the more annoying aspects
of many search engines, that is, slow response times and the many unrelated
sites that they come up with.
Netrings also generate more traffic for the page owners and cut down
on the time they might spend updating their links pages as new members
can join the ring at any time and their site is
automatically reachable from any page that is already in the ring.
Searching for Patterns
If you would like to search for patterns simply go to the
ring code at the bottom of this page and click on the appropriate link.
These will take you, either to a page that contains free knitting patterns
or a list of several pages, depending on which link you click on. Please
do not join the netring if you are just looking for patterns.
What are the Conditions of Joining the Free Knitting Pattern
Netring?
To join the ring your site must comply with the following:
-
You must be the owner and/or maintainer of the page you are adding to the
netring.
-
You must be over 13 years of age (This is a Ringsurf requirement)
-
You must have at least one free knitting pattern on your page.
Please note: I no longer accept pages that only contain links as
I feel that the links pages already in the netring cover as many pages
as possible in this area.
-
You must own the copyright, or have permission from the copyright owners
to display their work. This is very important! I will not allow sites that
contain illegal copies of patterns into the ring. This is not only for
the protection of the copyright owners, but also for my own legal protection
as owner of the Free Knitting Patterns Netring. If you're not sure about
copyright as it applies to craft patterns, there is a very good article
on The Australian Copyright Council's
website at http://www.copyright.org.au.
The article is "Information Sheet G21, Hobby Crafts and Copyright", which
can be downloaded at no cost.
-
Your site may be a private homepage or a commercial site. I'd have a lot
fewer knitting books if I didn't visit the free patterns pages on commercial
sites!
-
You must display the Free Knitting Patterns netring code and image logo on the page
that you have signed up. If you do not place the code on the html
file listed when you sign up the Ringsurf software will not be able to
find it and I will not know you have added it. This is very important!
Details of how to add the code are in the next section of this page.
Like to Join the Ring? Read On!
To join the Free Knitting Patterns Netring simply fill in the following
form. (DO NOT SIGN UP IF YOU DO NOT OWN A WEB PAGE ALREADY CONTAINING
FREE KNITTING PATTERNS!!!) You will then receive an email with
your site ID number and the code you need to add the netring
code to your page. You will also need to copy the image logo and upload it to your site. After you have added the code and image to your page e-mail
me and I will add you to the ring!
Please note: You must notify
me that you have added the netring code within four weeks of filling
out the following form. If not, you will be automatically removed from
the netring. You may then re-submit your site and try again if you wish.
The Netring Link
This is the link you will be asked to place on your site. The HTML code
will be sent to you via e-mail after you fill in the above form. You can
rearrange the code so that the design fits better with your whole website
design, but please do not remove any of the links as they are needed by
the management software in order to verify that you have the netring code
on your site.
