This "Gifts from the Heart" Webring was created June 14th, 1999

Rules
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE PAGE!

NOTE: I do take the time to go over each entry and go to all pages, if I find ANY of the items mentioned in numbers 2, 3 or 4 I will simply delete the entry (including indirect links). I will not be asking you to change any pages. If you have read this page as requested then you will know what we expect of your page and what we won't accept. Also, if your page has graphics or is about graphics we would like them to be clear for the most part and to please watch the typo's and spelling mistakes. (nobody is perfect, we realize that) Pages must also be in English or have an English version. Sorry, but I only read English.

   Please try your best to have your website compliant with both major browsers! Both Internet Explorer and Netscape.

If you would like a quick peek at all the wonderful graphics and webring boxes we have available please just go to " I_want's Gifts From the Heart Webring Boxes and Graphics" These will come up in a seperate window for you so you won't lose your place here.

  There are also many "perks" to joining our webring. To see them simply click on "Perks". After you read them come back here, read the rules and criteria below and if you meet and agree with them, sign up to be a member.

Note: We do recheck webring pages occasionally, if it is found that a member has put up something that we have a rule against we will request that the particular page be removed. If the webring member chooses not to, they will be removed from the webring. Also, that any site found to be involved with ANY groups/and or webrings that allow anything that is in #2, #3 or #4 of our rules section, it will be automatically out of the ring and not considered to be in the ring. I realize this sounds strong but we are trying to keep to our rules and keep this webring as "family safe" as possible for everyone and each site an enjoyable experience for all. If you wish to discuss this with me please just email me at Ringmistress .

1)   All sites must be a "gift from the heart". This means not just full of links. It must be full of personal design (Meaning things from your heart, things that please you. It could be pictures, poetry, quotes, hobbies, art, graphics, etc.) I have decided to try a different kind of Webring. There is no set/specific "subject" for my webring. This webring is for the "kinder, gentler" places on the net. The lighter side of life. The "Gifts from the Heart". And there must be some information about the webmaster (you). Items of interest that you would like to share with others.

2)   "NO" adult content (i.e. pornography, or links (direct or indirect) to it, nudity (includes what some call "adult art"), foul language, hate literature, etc.) No pages that harass or speak poorly of other sites or webmasters (this includes boycott's of other sites). This is a "family webring" and nothing of the above likes will be tolerated at all. Your site must be a "family safe site" meaning a parent should not have any qualms if their children visit your site.

3)  Personal homepages only. NO commercial sites allowed.

4)  I'm sorry but I do not accept religious sites. There are too many religions out there and it can offend others to click on something that is not of their belief. (This includes all religions, recognized or not, wiccan, new age, etc. ) There are many webrings out there that are for religious sites only. We suggest you go to "Ring Surf" and do a search there for religious webrings available. We also do not accept sites on diets or medicine. These should be discussed with a doctor or naturopath in an individual doctor/patient basis. Not on an internet homepage.

5)  You must link the graphic for the webring TO YOUR OWN SERVER! Any linked to my server will be removed.

6)  You cannot alter the code in any way other than the email address, the owner (you), and ID number, if needed (but it shouldn't be). If so you will be removed from the ring. Part of a rings success is given to the recognizable ring box.

7)  Please! You must place your webring graphic and links on the URL you register. For example, if you register http://www.mywebsite.com, do not place the webring graphic and links on http://mywebsite.com/page/mypage.html. The reason for this is very simple: users of I_want's "Gifts from the Heart" Webring should be able to travel smoothly from one webring site to another. Sites that come after a page that has their ring links on a separate page don't receive as much ring activity as they are entitled to, and that isn't fair to them. If the ring box is not on the same page as the URL you give, webring will also consider it a failed webring box when it does it's weekly checks.

8)  I have the right to remove your site from the queue/webring without any explanation.
