"A
webring in general is a collection of websites
from around the Internet joined together in a
circular structure. When used to improve search engine rankings,
webrings can be considered a search engine optimization
technique.
To be a
part of the webring, each site has a common navigation bar;
it contains links to the previous and next site. By clicking next (or
previous) repeatedly, the surfer will eventually reach the site they
started at; this is the origin of the term webring. However, the
click-through route around the ring is usually supplemented by a
central site with links to all member-sites; this prevents the ring
from breaking completely if a member site goes offline.
Webrings are usually organized
around a specific theme, often
educational or social. Web rings usually have a moderator who decides
which pages to include in the web ring. After approval, webmasters add
their pages to the ring by 'linking in' to the ring; this requires
adding the necessary HTML
(HyperText Markup Language) or JavaScript to their site."
per wikipedia
For a scifi fan webrings are gold mines of information grouped
around topics of interest.
