How to Join the Ring of Teddy Bears:

First, fill out the form below to register your site. This will add your site to the queue, which is a list of sites waiting to be added to the ring. (See the list of sites in the currently in the queue here.) You will receive an email almost immediately with the instructions and proper ring code for your site. Your site will remain in the queue until one of the administrators adds you to the ring. In order to be added, you must add the ring code (see an example of a functioning ring code below) to your site, and email the ringmaster that you are ready to be added. One of the administrators will check your site to be sure that the code has been added properly , and will then add you to the ring. You will be given 30 days to add this code. Sites that remain in the queue for longer than 30 days will be removed, and will have to reapply---so please add this code to your site as soon as you receive it!

You will receive an email message with the correct code for your site, and the instructions you need to add it to your page. (You can also find the basic HTML fragment below. Simply add your email address, and your site ID number where indicated.) Once the code is added, contact the ringmaster, and one of the administrators will check the code on your page to make sure it's correct, and add you to the ring. You will receive an email message welcoming you to the ring. That's it! Once your site is added, you should be able to start at your site and navigate the entire ring all the way back around to your site.
