1) The code that you choose must be placed either on the page (URL) that you submit to the ring or on a "rings" or "links" page that is linked to the page submitted and easy to find on the page submitted. If you choose to place the ring code on a page other than the front page of your site, the URL where the code has actually been placed must be submitted to the ringmaster when you notify him that the code is up and ready for final approval.

2) Webrings are inherently designed with the assumption that the person submitting their site has a good understanding of HTML source code. You must be able to cut and paste source code into a HTML document . You must be able to read and recognize whether or not a section of HTML code (fragment) matches the code fragment that you have chosen to use. Any graphics that are obtained from this ring's home page MUST be downloaded to your own computer and then uploaded to your own local directory. Please do not link directly to the graphic choices on this ring's home page!

3) When you submit a site to the Borzoi Lovers Webring, a default HTML fragment is automatically generated for you. This code is ready to copy and paste with no further adjustments. This code is guaranteed to work if it is copied and pasted exactly as written. It is the responsibility of the submitter to ensure that the code works and displays properly.

4) If you do not wish to use the code that is provided (default code), you also have the option of choosing from other prewritten codes provided for you on this ring's home page in the "Graphics & Code" area. Using these custom code fragments requires that you do some adjusting (i.e. changing the id #'s, owner's name, site name and mailto link.)

5) Some members may choose to create their own custom version of the Borzoi Lovers Webring code. This is perfectly acceptable as long as the essential code elements remain intact. (i.e. all links, id #'s, etc.) Graphics can be reduced, or replaced as long as the words "Borzoi Lovers Webring" appear on the main graphic. The display can be customized as well, but you may want to take a look at the "Graphics & Code" area where you will find many variations of graphic and code combinations. All custom codes and graphics are subject to the approval of the ringmaster.

6) All sites submitted to the Borzoi Lovers Webring are automatically placed in the queue. You then must place the code of your liking, make sure that it displays and works correctly, and then notify the ringmaster that you are ready to be added to the ring. The ringmaster is automatically notified every time a site is added to the queue and makes every effort to check out sites regularly to see if they are ready to be added. Since the ringmaster may be too busy to check out your site, it is best to notify him when you are ready to ensure your addition to the ring. There is no time limit for stays in the queue.

7) Submitted sites (in the queue) that fail to follow the "Rules of the Ring" will not be added. Failure to follow these rules by sites already in the ring will be grounds for immediate removal from the ring, and resubmission will then be required for reconsideration of membership renewal in the Borzoi Lovers Webring. It will be assumed by the ringmaster that these rules have been read by members of the ring and by all submitters prior to submission. Any violation of the rules will not be tolerated.

8) No dog merchandise sites will be accepted to the Borzoi Lovers Webring unless they sell Borzoi-related products only. (Dog merchandise sites that cater to many different breeds are better suited for one of the many general dog rings available.)
