A WebRing is a way that like-minded people can link their web sites together to follow a similar theme.

Imagine a huge pearl necklace where each each individual pearl is represented by a web site somewhere in the world. Although each pearl is separate, it's linked to the next via an invisible thread - the WebRing system.

Each web site has a small 'WebRing control panel' on it, which allows you to move to the next or previous site in the ring, find out more about the ring or to list all the sites in the ring.
Visitors can even opt to jump to a 'random' site if they like, which provides an opportunity to view sites which may otherwise be overlooked and also provide visitors with information which may be new or undiscovered for them.
