Do you blog? Are you or a loved one bipolar (also known as manic depressive) ? If so & you'd like to bring more traffic to your blog while helping to educate the general public through your blog, BIPOLAR PLANET Netring may interest you.

There are no participation requirements. Dealing with bipolar disorder is quite enough in and of itself, don't you agree? (Those with other brain disorders may submit a confidential request & will be considered on a case by case basis.)

Even if you know that you want to join, read this page in its entirety.

What is a Netring?
A NetRing is a community of pages with related content, organized into a circular ring. Each page in a ring has links which let visitors move to an adjacent site on the ring, summon a ring index, or hop to a random site. NetRings let web visitors quickly and reliably find sites with related subjects.

Sites can be on more than one ring at a time. Visitors may jump from ring to ring as they explore the ring network.

(The above image of linked rings gives us a visual idea of how a Netring works) It is just blogs, on the same topic, that link together & say a parent of a child just diagnosed wants to read about it, but not in books, then they can find netrings like ours. Anybody can utilize these rings.

Is RingSurf free?

Yes. RingSurf is free both for users as well as page owners

Requirements:

1. Please go to Ringsurf.com, type in Bipolar in the search. The 1st webring that comes up is BipolarPlanet, click on "join" and follow the instructions given on this page. (Click on ring Profile up at the top. Scroll down until you see "Ring HTML code: Below is the code that you enter on your site to activate the ring." The code you need you copy is right there.)

If you do not have the html code on your template, Ringsurf will deny and delete your application. You may, of course, reapply if you have issues. But properly inserting this code is the only real requirement for joining the Ring.
