Welcome to Ukrainians on the Web Home Page. I started the UkrWWW webring as a means of connecting together all those of Ukrainian heritage and those interested in things Ukrainian. The Webring gives the Web surfer the ability to move from one site to another and view the different pages pertaining to Ukraine.

Requirements

I didn't have that many stringent requirements, but unfortunately, some people decided they were going to try to pull some fast ones on me and tried to use their own interpretation of my intentions for this webring. The basic things that are required to be part of the ring is to:

1. Have a Ukrainian theme

2. Place the Webring HTML code (which is e-mailed to you after you have submitted your site) on that page. The Webring HTML Code must be placed on the page that you submitted for inclusion into the ring. This is necessary because there are pages within the Webring that are written using Ukrainian fonts (KOI8 or 1251) and many web surfers are not able to read the language.

Additional Requirements to be included in the Webring:

• NO adult content, pornography, kiddie porn, no racist sites or sites that advocate, encourage or condome such behavior, etc. (This should go without saying....but I want no misunderstandings)
• The HTML webring code MUST be placed on the page that is being submitted and the page being submitted MUST meet all of the other requirements. NOTE: I will utilize the Webring.org auto-checker for the proper placement of the webring HTML code; if after you are added to the webring, you decide to move the HTML code or change your site's info to another page---YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE RING.
• NO purely commercial web sites; The Ukrainian Zoloto Webring was created for that purpose. I don't mind if the personal web page that is submitted has links within it that points to where and how merchandise and/or supplies can be acquired, but this webring was created with the intent of unifying personal web pages of those of Ukrainian heritage and those that have information about Ukraine and things pertaining to Ukraine and Ukrainian communities around the world. Therefore, sites that are submitted and are solely for-profit, will NOT be added to the ring. The only EXCEPTION to this is web sites that promote Ukrainian history, art, literature, music, etc; basically anything to do with Ukrainian culture (no "get-rich-quick", "Make Money Fast", or chain letter-type schemes).
• Web site should have a Ukrainian theme. This IS a Ukrainian Webring.
• More than one link to other Ukrainian web sites and more than a Ukrainian Link Page.
• The Webring HTML Code and graphic MUST be added to the submitted page within 14 days from the date of submitted. In a nutshell, after you have submitted your web site for consideration to be added to the webring, you will have 7 days to add the Webring HTML Code and graphics to your submitted page. This is necessary so that sites in the queue move more quickly into the ring. If you are not moved into the ring within 7 days, your site will be automatically removed from the queue and you will have to resubmit it. Also, the HTML code must be placed on the page you submitted so that people do not have to go searching for it. This becomes frustrating when the web site utilizes special Cyrillic fonts and not everyone is able to or capable of setting these fonts up or able to read them.
• The Webring HTML Code and Graphic must be working properly. I would have thought that this was not necessary to state, but you could have the HTML added, but no graphic. The webring won't work. If you don't enter your Site ID in the proper places in the HTML code, the webring won't work. I will not allow gaps/breaks within the webring, so your site will not be added. IMPORTANT! Save the webring graphic below to your server where you have your wbe page stored. The code has been changed to access the graphic from your own site, not mine.
  

  
  
  Save this graphic by right-clicking on it and then on "Save As"
  
  

• When you've completed all the necessary steps, you must then e-mail the requesting your site to be added to the ring. I will then access your site and make sure that the webring is working properly. If I notice any problems, I will notify you immediately by e-mail (to the e-mail address you gave when you submitted your site) and you should correct the problem(s) as quickly as possible. Because, the clock is running toward the 14 day limit.
• Your page must not be written specifically for any one type of browser. I would have thought that this requirement would not be necessary, but many sites have been submitted which have to be viewed with a specific browser. Web visitors cannot be forced to have to use a specific browser and I will not allow gaps within the webring.

When I check your site I will only access the web site that you submitted. I will NOT go searching for the webring HTML code. If it is not on the web site you submitted, I will not add you. If you change the location info after being added to another page that does not contain the webring HTML code, you will be removed.

IMPORTANT!

DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR SITE IF.....

• You do not intend to place the webring HTML code on your site within 14 days.   The Ukrainians on the Web webring is NOT a directory.  Your site will not be visible on our list until your site is added to the webring community.
• Your site does not pertain to Ukraine or owned by a Ukrainian.  If this cannot be verified, then your chances of being added to the webring is absolutely nil.
• Your site is written exclusively in a non-English language (without a means of translating).  If we like it or not, English is the universal language.   Ukrainians on the Web was created for the purpose of presenting and showcasing the Ukrainian culture and history.  It defeats the purpose of the webring is your site is geared exclusively for a small percentage of the web visitors.

1. If you misplace the Webring HTML Code that is sent to you and/or the Site ID, and I will will have the Webring HTML Code resent to you.

2. And a final note......the RingManager is the only one who can add a site to the ring. The decision to add a site or not lies solely with the RingManager.

3. If you have any other questions, make a point of contacting me by with them.
