Expanding
Unidirectional
Ring
Of
Pages
EUROPa
is a different way to connect up and
explore the World-Wide Web. It was
started
at Imperial
College, London, UK
on 1994-12-22 by
Denis Howe <dbh@doc.ic.ac.uk>
just to see how far it would spread.
Problems or comments should be sent
to Denis and the owner of the
relevant page (if any). See below
for how to join in.

Some (non-EUROPa)
pages you might care to browse.
How to join in
To join in you
need to be able to create your own
Web page. Here's what to do:
-
Invent a new
URL to use for your own EUROPa
page, something like "http://my.host.net/europa.html".
-
Take a copy
of the HTML source of this page
using your browser's "View Source"
or "Save as HTML" function.
-
Replace all
the "Owner of this page" names,
e-mail addresses, etc. as
indicated by the comments in the
HTML.
-
Put
something interesting in the
"Other links" section.
-
Install the
page on your Web server with the
URL you gave.
-
E-mail the
new URL to me, the owner of this
page (below).
-
I will send
back my latest "Next EUROPa page"
link if it has changed since you
took your copy.
-
Update the
"Next page" link in your page if
necessary.
-
Wait until
you receive the URL of another new
EUROPa page.
-
Check the
new page is OK.
-
Send the
owner of the new page your latest
"Next page" link if necessary (and
keep a note of it for yourself).
-
Update the
"Next page" link on your page to
point to the new URL you received.
It is
important to follow these
instructions in the order given to
ensure that the ring remains a ring.
You may join the ring at any point
but you may only join once.
To this end, you should check that
any URL you receive is not already
in the ring by following the links
back round to your own page. You
should keep a private note of old
"Next page"s in case your current
one dies, leaving a break in the
ring.
