All caught up! Top reasons I had to delete sites (pretty much in order):

1. No code or bad code -- when you join you have 7 days to get the code on your blog!
2. Blog not a month old.
3. Hadn't been regular posting (at least weekly) over the last month.
4. URL bogus -- make sure you type your url correctly when you sign up!
5. No knitting content ?!? The Knitting Blogs Webring is only for knitting blogs (duh!)

Please read the rules before you apply to join the ring.

So how many sites are in the ring now? 888! Can you believe it?

There were over 80 sites in the queue this morning -- yikes!! So I'm doing a blitz. I'm going through the sites and if they meet the requirements and the code is up on the sites -- they are added. If not they are deleted. There's no way I could email all the ones being deleted to explain why -- I'd never get through this mountain of sites! So I'm doing what I gotta do.

I'll be adding more sites throughout the day!

Thanks to everyone who offered to help check the ring.  All the open positions are filled and I tried to email everyone who responded.  Without the ring checkers' help, this ring could not be the size it is and still work!

I'm still looking for a tech person though! This should not require any more time each week than ring checking. If you are interested, please email me!

REQUEST FOR HELP!

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been doing some much needed ring work. I'm trying to round up the checkers and fill any open spots. So here's what I need -- 4 ring checkers & one technical question person.

Ring Checkers will have to look through 50 sites every 7-14 days and report back to me with any issues. Checkers should have good blogging skills -- such as some basic html and knowledge of the major blogging platforms.

The "Technical question" person will have to have very good web skills including a knowledge of the major blogging platforms, experience with html and an understanding of the differences amongst the major browsers. You wll be the person to whom I forward all technical ring questions.

Please email me, making sure to include your blog name and a link to your blog. Also tell me whether you would like to be a checker or tech person.

Thanks in advance!

Really lovely. RingSurf in their continued effort to make my life more difficult has added a new "feature." They now take some sites out of the ring automatically and put them in a category called "sites of interest." Supposedly these sites do not load or don't have the correct code or something. It's not true though!!!! I just started checking these "sites of interest" that they removed from the ring and all but one of them loaded just fine and had the correct code. ARGH!

So if you have been removed from the ring and you meet the ring requirements, you may have been removed by RingSurf. I just hope that these same sites don't repeatedly get dumped into this category. Sigh.

Just a few today. And I'm going to re-print the rules here again because I spent a lot of time this morning on sites that didn't meet the ring requirements. They are always available over in the sidebar too! And I'm going to be looking for a few more ring checkers next week. I'll post details soon!

Having work done on the roof -- so noisy that I can't think straight! So, I decided to completely blow off work and add some sites to the ring instead. Believe it or not, even after adding all these sites, I'm still not caught up!

Have a great weekend and happy knitting!
