How to join the ring

• Please read the rules.
• Submit your site details via the application form.
• Add the ring code and logo to your site (refer to the instructions for details).

To sign up simply enter your details in the application form. Once you have submitted your site details, follow the instructions for posting the ring code and uploading the logo to your site. It's as simple as that!

The rules

1 - Your site must contain something of relevance to pinhole photography (for example: pinhole photographs, pinhole cameras, precision pinholes, zone plate photographs, etc).

2 - The ring code must be located on the page that you submit to the ring and be easy to find from your homepage. If you remove the code from your site then your site will be removed from the ring.

3 - Please use an approved logo. If you do not like any of the ones that I have provided then feel free to submit an alternative for approval. If your logo is approved then it will be added to those that are available for others to use.

4 - Your site must be in English, have an English version or have navigation aids in English.

5 - This ring aims to be family friendly. Sites that contain criminal, pornographic or racist information need not apply.

Application form

When you click on the Send button RingSurf will be notified of your application to join this ring. Your site will be placed in a queue, awaiting transfer to the ring and I will be notified of your application to join.

I will move your site from the queue to the ring if and when RingSurf confirms that the ring code has been found on your site. Thereafter, if RingSurf ever reports that ring code cannot be found then your site will be moved back from the ring to the queue. If subsequent checks to locate the code fail then your site will be removed from the ring. Each site in the ring acts like a link in a chain, consequently the ring cannot function properly if any link is broken.

You may edit the site information that you submit via the application form, at any time, by using either of the following options:

• Use the edit facility at the bottom of this page.
• Visit RingSurf's site.

1 - Shortly after submitting your details via the application form above, you will receive an e-mail from RingSurf containing the relevant ring code for your Web page, together with a unique ID number. Please add the ring code to your Web page, as soon as possible.

Alternatively, the ring code fragment can be obtained from this page, using the View Source option in the menu at the top of your browser. Use the Edit & Find options to locate the ring code in the source code from this page. You will find it located between two comments: Begin Pinhole Photography Fragment and End Pinhole Photography Fragment. You must replace my Web site ID, e-mail and name with your own.
