PROGRESSIVE VIDEO & TV WEBRING

What is a WebRing
A WebRing is a group of sites with something in common who decide to co-operate. Each member of the ring puts a WebRing Banner somewhere prominent on there site. This banner allows people visiting there site to visit other sites on the Ring. It also allows them to get a list of all the sites on the WebRing and a short description for each of them. In this way all the members of the ring can increase the traffic to there site. The beauty of WebRings is that the people who visit your site as a result of them are already interested in the subject of your site. It you are unsure about if you wish to join remember you can leave at any time. For more information about WebRings go to www.webring.org. The banners for the Progressive TV & Video WebRing are:-

  Do NOT use the above banners for your website, get them from here and read ALL the instructions carefully

Who can Join the Webring
Any site relating to Political, Community or other Progressive Video/TV or Video Activism can Join the Webring. Commercial web sites can apply but are unlikely to be accepted unless meet the above criteria. Similarly sites using video purely from an arts perspective are unlikely to be accepted unless they also meet the above criteria. We will also Epost all current members letting them know and comment on new applicants.

How Do I Join WebRing
To join the WebRing you must do two things. Firstly you must apply to join By filling in the form below. Within a day or so you will be told your application has been received and processed. You must also add the banner somewhere prominent to your site. This is normally the bottom of the main page but if only part of your site is relevant it would be better to put it there. When you have done this you should send an Epost to i-contact@gifford.co.uk to say what page the banner has been put on. You will then be added to the ring. Only after you have been added to the ring will you benefit from it.
