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.
