Webrings work by maintaining the list at a central site. The "next"
link on members' pages is actually a link CGI script on the central
site that looks up the next site in the list and redirects you to it.
No script capability or other smarts are required by the individual
sites.
One free (advertiser supported) ring-management site is
http://www.webring.org/ --- they already have a ring for Olympus
digital cameras.
