Introduction

The Planet Harmonica WebRing is a webring for sites with content about the recorder.

The ring is currently run by me, Frank Nordberg. I did not start this webring, but was asked by webring.com to take over when they lost contact with the original ringmaster.

For a site to be accepted to the ring, it has to meet some requirements. You can click here to read the requirements in detail - here is a short summary:

To become a member of the ring a site has to:

have content relevant to the ring (yes, I know that should be obvious, but you should have seen some of the submissions I have to reject!),

be reasonably cross-platform and cross-browser compatible,

If you are unsure what a webring is and what it can do for your site, you should have a look at the "For webmasters" page.

Rules

The purpose of The Planet Harmonica WebRing is to help making information about the harmonica available to the web population. Basically the rules are there to ensure that the member sites really have relevant content, and that they are available to everybody on the internet!

Content
The site must have some considerable content related to the harmonica. Relevant sites may be be:
- Information sites about the harmonica
- Instructional sites
- Tabs/midis/mp3s/sheet music sites
- Players' home pages and fan sites
- Band's home pages and fan sites
- Manufacturers and retailers of harmonica relevant products
The webring banner
The webring banner must be included on the page that was submitted to the ring. If you don't want the banner on your main page, you can create a special webring entry page for ring submissions.
To ensure that the banner works properly, it has to be added axactly as instructed.
Encoding
A member of the Planet Harmonica WebRing should be available to the whole web community. That means:
1. The site must not be browser-specific. It must at least be readable with any version of the following browsers:
  - Netscape Navigator
  - Internet Explorer
  - Opera
  - Konquerer
  - Safari
  - iCab
  This means that you have to be careful with:
  - JavaApplets
  - JavaScript
  - Audiofiles, midifiles and videoclips that start automatically
  - Frames
  - Cascading stylesheets
  - Tables
  - Imagemaps
  - Layers
  - Floating frames
  - Browser specific tags
  That is: you can use all of these, but they must not form an essential part of the site, and they must not be programmed in a way that makes older browsers crash.
2. The site must be reasonably fast-loading. As a rule of thumb the content of the main page (including all graphics etc.) should not exceed 150 KB.
Finally
The Planet Harmonica WebRing is run by me, Frank Nordberg. I reserve the right to exclude any site I find unsuitable for the ring for any reason - or with no reason at all.
