I have created a blog ring just for us.

If you have a blog then you are welcome to join.

If you are not familiar with the blog ring concept this is how it works.

When you join you are given a piece of code to add to your sidebar in your blog which allows other members (and visitors to your blog) to navigate from one blog to the next in the ring.

If you would like to join please Click here

If you don't want to join the ring, but would still like to share your blog with us then please tell us about it in this forum.

Would someone like to come up with a button for our ring? If we end up with more than one design then members can choose which one they want to use.

You should see a block of texty programmy type stuff in a medium sized box to the left of the screen when you registered your details on the blog ring page. Copy those commands by highligting and copying them, and then pasting them into the sidebar of your blog.

You'll need to go the template part of your blog (again it's the programmy looking bits in the template) and paste them into a piece where it goes on about sidebar content.

That's what I did and it seemed to work okay. And I'm not the sharpest knife in the box as far as t'interent is concerned... Rolling Eyes
