The New My Account Page!
We are proud to announce that the revised versions of the My Account page are now available to all WebRing members.
The revised look features a sleek Web 2.0 user interface, complete with rounded corners, drop shadows and gradients. We've done more than give the My Account page a facelift, though.
No more hunting is required to find your most recent and pressing tasks thanks to the Updates! section of the new communication center. Here, you will receive notifications of the following:
- New WR Messages (formerly called WR Mail)
- New submissions to the WebRing Communities you manage
- Status of your pending memberships
- Status of invitations you've sent
- Overview of your site and ring traffic
Coming soon, you will also receive updates anytime someone posts to a forum you belong to or comments on your WebRing blog.
3 My Account Displays Available
- All-In-One — This is the default option that keeps all the different elements contained in one communication center box.
- Break-It-Up — This option displays each element in a separate block. Only the blocks that require attention will appear above your tabs.
- Classic — If you just can't stand the slick new look, you can always revert back to the My Account look you've come to know.
How to Change Your My Account Display
- Click on the Account Settings tab from your My Account page.
- Scroll down and locate the "My Account Display Options" section.
- Choose the display option you prefer.
- Scroll down and click on the "I agree. Change my info." button.
Go ahead and give it a whirl! Check out the different options, and as always, feel free to provide feedback in the comments section below.

Create a Great First Impression
One of the hidden gems of the WebRing system is the profile page. Although they aren't the focal point as with other social networking sites, WebRing profile pages help other members get to know you and what you have to offer. In most cases, your profile is the first page visitors see when they click on your user ID.
Our system provides an extremely simple interface, at least for those who know a little HTML. The benefit of our current profile page is that it is a clean canvas, leaving almost all of the design choices up to you!
What about those of you who don't know any HTML? You don't actually need to use it. Just write up some compelling copy and paste it into the text field.
All WebRing members, whether 1.0 or 2.0, can change their profile message via their Account Settings. If, however, you would like to style out your profile page, you will need to upgrade to a WebRing 2.0 membership. Once a 2.0 member, your personal account representative (another perk to being 2.0) can help guide you or provide you with a basic template that you can then use to create a snazzy profile page.
Already a WebRing 2.0 member? Click on the "Edit Profile" tab from your My Account page to get started!
Remember, your profile page is usually the first point of contact with others. Make your first impression count; upgrade to WebRing 2.0 membership and create a smashing profile page.

MS Research
|
Multiple Sclerosis. It affects 2.5 million people around the world, and it may strike closer to home than you think.
Last year, one of our own staff started to lose her sight at an alarming rate. Day after day, her world grew more and more blurry. After visiting the eye doc and receiving a clean bill of optical health, she was sent to a neurologist who confirmed the ophthalmologist's worst suspicions: she had MS.
With treatments, our staff member slowly regained most of her sight, but she will continue to live with MS for the rest of her life.
To date no cure for MS exists, but you can help fund research for this mysterious illness. Please consider making a donation or helping with a campaign in your region. The following are just a few of the places you can join in the fight against MS.
