All the cool kids are doing it

GuitarGirl and Stunted Diva have joined the ring ranks with wandering aimlessly... and Not Safe For Work, respectively.

By the way, if I'm getting anyone's details wrong or I have misnamed your blog, let me know. I've tried to make it so that when you place your cursor over a member site you see the FT username as a "tool tip". I think all the names are accurate, but let me know if I screwed up.

I just have to say, I'm enjoying everyone's blogs much more than Fametracker these days. I may have to remove it from my links. There's not enough hours in the day.

In today's news

we are joined by holiday girl, aka HarperValleyPTA, who has inspired me to add some Ella Fitzgerald to my current music rotation.

Quick Update

decca wrote me to let me know that she is subsidiary and our newest member is P.D. Noosh with The Nooshie Diaries.

So you think you have something to say?

If you're a member and you want to post your own news or observations to this site, let me know and I'll add you as a contributor. I know I'm not the only member with something to say.

So who's reading this anyway?

If you want info on just how many people have visited your site as a result of the Webring, there is a "Stats" link on the sidebar. This will tell you how many people have visited your site while surfing the ring. (The results vary a bit from my site meter stats, so I' not sure how accurate it is, but it's amusing at the very least.)

And then there was one more

Our newest member is "subsidiary". I know s/he has an altternate FT ID because I've seen the site before, but I don't know what it is. Maybe subsidiary will drop me a line or leave a comment to let us know. (Cool name by-the-by.)

Linking to Diaryland

I use Diaryland and I don't know how to put the webring code on my site, can you help me?

You just can't make this easy for me, can you? ;) Again, the style and layout of the links will depend on the template and options you use. I have the freebie account, so here's what I did.
First go to this page: http://members.diaryland.com/edit/changeentrytemplate.phtml
(Ignore the "Gold" thingie, ; they slap that bold-faced plug everywhere)

You can then insert the code provided when you signed up, or one of the code examples here. Place the code where you would like the links to appear on the page. I placed it under the default Diaryland link bar. (Above the <map name="menubar"> code.)

This is how it turned out.

These go to 11

l discovered the part of the manual check that allows me to amend the link page, so welcome:
