The Jazz Guitar Ring

What it is

The Jazz Guitar Ring is a collection of web sites and home pages around the web for those interested in beautiful guitars, guitar playing, guitar music, especially jazz, guitar brands, guitar maintenance. On every page which belongs to the ring you will find a next link that will bring you to the next page in the ring, until eventually you get back to where you started.
This service is absolutely free, there is no catch.

If you play jazz or blues guitar, or love guitars, and if you have a quality website or home page dedicated to jazz guitars, jazz or blues guitar playing, or players, your site definitely belongs in the jazz guitar ring!

Since there are already Web Rings which focus on topics such as beginners' lessons, Country and Steel music, Rock, Grunge, Heavy Metal playing, and more, the focus of this ring is on electric guitars, advanced playing, and jazz or blues.

The HTML Code Fragment

Make sure this code is inserted into your main page! It must be visible when the page you submitted is loaded.
This is required to join the ring.
You can copy and paste the code from this page by pointing the mouse cursor on the beginning of the code and, keeping the left mouse button pressed, move down until the complete code is highlighted. Then, use the "Copy" command on your browser to copy into the memory of your computer. With the "Paste" command you can now paste it into any edit window.
Please edit all information that appears here in blue to support your site, that is, insert your Site Id in place of "SiteId".

Note: Frame users may submit the URL of their frame document, while the code fragment must be on the page first loaded into the main frame.
If your page uses frames, please make sure you have the TARGET="_top" parameter in every link from the ring code to prevent other sites loaded into your frame.
