* SITE SUBMISSION: You MUST submit the URL of the page on your site where the NetRing code will be placed, which can be your main page, links page, etc. For best results, place the ring HTML code on your site's entrance page. Once your site has been approved you may alter the code's HTML font tags, border tags, and size tags ONLY to better match your site colour theme - altering any other part of the code will break the ring and disqualify your membership. Note: off-theme submissions will be declined.
