Geocaching Webring

[cacheseekers]

While I was updating our webpage today I decided to check out the Webring a bit and notice that our page was the only one to have a red thumbs down next to it… Anyone know how they decide who has a thumbs up etc? Three things that i’m thinking are A)amount of time that the page has had the correct navigation code; B)amount of click through links from our page to theres; C)content of the page.

I can understand if the first two caused it to have a red thumbs down as our page is about.. oh a week old or so I just hope it’s not the content. This is my first dive back into building webpages since, oh 1998 or so. Granted I may be a little rusty, but I don’t really think our page is -that- bad.

Any thoughts?

On a daily basis, the webring checks each site on each ring for the navigation code. When you join a ring, you have to tell the ring where you are placing the ring navigation code (the next, previous, all, random etc. buttons).

Each day the ring checks to make sure that the code is where you told them it would be. A red thumbs down means that the ring does not see the code where it should be, and therefore considers that site to have broken the ring.

You have your navigation code in a frame side bar. Is that where it was when you joined the ring? The best thing is to go log into the ring, and use its ring checker. Or just manually update the location of the code.

That will get you back to a green thumbs up

That’s interesting. I had updated with the navigation bar wizard thing they have and it said that my site passed the test earlier this week. I didn’t change any of the code on the webring site or our page and I just ran the test again and it passed. But now the red thumbs down is gone.

Strange how things work

Thanks for the tip, I’ll be keeping an eye on this to see if it is some strange fluke.
