What you need to know about the ZUWR system
Handle: A web handle is what other internet users refer to you as.
It can be your real name, but it doesn't have to be. Think of the
truckers and the old CB Radios. "Breaker Breaker this heres the Duck
you got a copy on me Big Ben come on?" Duck and Big Ben are examples
of handles. My handle online is HaTcH. Other people's are like Grey Wolf,
Tilly, Koneko, and Jammer. If you don't have a handle thats pretty wierd,
so be creative and make one up.
On IRC, handles are also known as 'Nicks', short for nicknames.
Website Title: This is the title of your website, which is pretty
self explanatory, or atleast I think so... Anyway, an example of this is
like "Liger's Union," my site, "Grey Wolf's Lair", "Creative Insanity",
"Generation Zi", and "Blue Sky Height." If your website doesn't have a
title, you should get one.
URL: Also Known As, Uniform Resource Locator, or simply web address
or link. This is how you tell other people on the internet where to find your
site. The URL must start with http:// and not contain any spaces.
Terminology: URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator
WWW stands for World Wide Web
HTTP stands for hypertext transfer protocol
W3C stands for the World Wide Web Consortium
IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat
ID: This is probably the reason you are actually at this page
in the first place.. Anyway ID is a unique string that you will refer to your site
as in the webring's code. For Example, my site is called "Liger's Union," I chose
lu as my site identifier. If there was a site named "Big Ben's Brilliant Boats" perhaps
the webmaster would choose 4b or bbbb for his site identifier. It doesn't have to
be an abbreviation of the title either. For example, Momonga's site has an ID of
momo. So when you are picking an ID keep in mind that it is how the webring script
knows what site you are at, and what content to return. (such as the prev and next buttons)
Email: This is an address where other members of the internet can contact you at.
They are usually in the form of some-string@some-domain.some-extension. They also cannot
have spaces, just like the URL. Email is quickly replacing traditional paper or snail mail,
and is almost as instant as a telephone.
... What? If you think its funny I got that deep into it, remember who
was the one that clicked the '?'? If you had to click the question mark about
Site Title, I would only expect you knew almost nothing about it! So there. Hah.
