A Really Stupid Question

Trying to put in html for a webring and I have copied and pasted EXACTLY and it will not connect to other rings. I expect the ringmaster person to show up at my door any moment to choke me. What could be the problem? My host doing something or what, I mean how simple is copy and paste?
I have the public eye thing and the Snap search box so - I turn to the all-knowing webmasters for HELP. Thanks

Most likely you haven't been added to the ring yet.

Contact the ringmaster.

No I haven't been added to the ring but the ringmaster says when I move the mouse over the site links it should show the address and its not - is she wrong or am I misunderstanding?

I don't see a ring at all on the url you offered. When I go to the view source, though I see where it is supposed to be...
www.htmlvalidator.com/lite is a free validator that will help with the coding problem that you have (which is why it isn't showing up).

Get the code again from the ringmaster -- it is missing the <a> tags for the list|join|next et cetera, and the table isn't closed, and there are a whole bunch of other problems with it.

Basically, it's not you, it's the code snippet!

Cheers,

Suzanne
