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.
