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.

(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.
