Why join a web ring?

A web ring is a way to group sites of similar interest together in a "ring." Links on each page allow you to move from one site to the next, eventually traveling the entire Ring to end up where you started. It's a great way to create exposure and generate more traffic to your web site. And best of all, this service is provided free by WebRing, Inc.




What is the Donnachaidh Ring and who can join?

The Donnachaidh Ring (pronounced  'don · ah · kee ) is a web ring devoted to all things "Donnachaidh," which is the Gaelic name for the Robertson Clan. The Ring's main purpose is to bring together all Donnachaidh clansmen and clanswomen who are on the internet to foster a sense of community and belonging among them, wherever they may be, spread out around the world. Any web page owned by or about a person or persons that have or once had (for instance, as a maiden name) a surname included in the Clan Donnachaidh, or any web page with substantial information about the Clan or its septs, may be considered for inclusion in the Ring. The Donnachaidh Ring will not, however, accept any sites that contain the following: profanity, pornography, supremacist or hate group material.


Please note:  This webring is not directly affiliated with the Clan Donnachaidh Society or any official branch thereof, or of any other organization which requires dues for membership. This is a free service.

The following septs (and any variant spellings) are considered part of the Clan:



SEPTS:  Collier, Colyear, Connochie, Conochie, Cunnison, Dobbie, Dobbin, Dobie, Dobieson, Dobinson, Dobson, Donachie, Donaghy, Duncan, Duncanson, Dunnachie, Hobson, Inches, Kynoch, MacConachie, MacConchie, MacOnich, MacConnochie, MacDonachie, MacGlashan, MacInroy, MacIver, MacIvor, MacJames, MacLagan, MacCullich, Maconachie, MacRobbie, MacRobert, MacRoberts, MacRobie, MacWilliam, Reed, Reid, Robbie, Roberts, Robertson, Robison, Robson, Roy, Stark, Tonnochy.

If you would like a sample of sites that have already joined the Donnachaidh Ring, check out this random site, or the Ring's site listing.




How does one join?

To join the ring, you need only follow these steps:


1. Fill out the submission form below. You will then be sent an email with a site ID number (write it down so you don't forget it!). Your site at this point is automatically entered into the Ring's Queue, but it doesn't mean your site has actually joined the Ring yet!


2. Insert the HTML code on your web page along with the Donnachaidh Ring graphic found below. Please place it so that folks browsing the Ring can easily find it.


3. Go to any site in the Ring and politely email its owner asking him or her to add your site to the Ring. Please be patient. Remember to include your site ID number in the email - they won't be able to add you from the Queue without it.

Once you have cut and pasted the HTML code, you must also copy the Ring graphics to your site. You may choose between the following pairs. The first is preferred by the RingMaster, but if you prefer a smaller graphic, the second is provided. Simply right-click on the image and Save Picture as...  Remember that no matter which pair you choose, the "Donnachaidh Ring" graphic must be saved as dr.gif and the "Next" graphic as dr_next.gif or they will not work with the HTML code.


  <---- dr.gif          dr_next.gif ---->  



You may wish to edit out all but the first of the line break < br > tags in the HTML code if you use this smaller pair, so that the links in the center fit better.
