More RingSurf Woes

Apparently my attempts to delete the RingSurf ring have yet again been thwarted.  I had manually deleted all the blogs several weeks ago and discovered recently that they had all been restored to the ring.  So I did it again with the same result (deleted blogs were restored overnight).  My requests for assistance to the support e-mail address went unanswered.  So I simply deleted the entire ring, thinking that would delete everybody yet again, but all at once, rather than individually deleting several hundred blogs. 

Well, it appears that deleting the ring is not actually deleting the ring in RingSurf's world.  It is instead abandoning the ring and leaving it open for someone else to adopt.  I immediately signed up to adopt the ring back so that I could at least keep other people from mis-using the contact information.  Apparently I was not fast enough and the ring has now been adopted by someone else.  If you still have an account with RingSurf, I would advise you to consider deleting it or otherwise monitoring it.  I have no idea who now has control of that information (and, yes, the ring adopter does now have access to your RingSurf password).

Had I known that deleting the ring was not actually deleting the ring, I wouldn't have done it.  I apologize for any problems this may cause.  I am also hoping we don't end up with dueling Fiber Arts Bloggers blogrings.

Periodic Re-posting of blogring rules

This is a periodic re-posting of the blog ring rules. It is not directed at anybody in particular.

1. You must have a blog about your textile projects, ideas, and adventures. Things like spinning, weaving, knitting, crochet, lace-making, braiding and kumihimo, etc. It doesn't have to be *only* about fiber things, but should include fiber stuff at least once per month.
   


2. The blog needs to be regularly updated. Any blogs not updated at least once a month will be moved to the queue. If you have not updated in over three months your site will be removed from the ring. You are welcome to re-join the ring if /when you start posting again.
   


3. You need to include the ring code on the blog page, so that visitors can surf to other bloggers' sites more easily. (Isn't that the point?!) At a minimum, the ring code must include a link to the ring's home and the Next and Previous links. Anyone who has not added the code to their site within two weeks of application will be removed from the ring. If you don't have the current ring code, send e-mail to msmorenna (at) gmail (dot) com and I will help you get the ring code.


4. This is NOT a commercial site. If your blog is merely a listing of items for sale, this blog ring is not for you.

As a reminder: don't forget that you need to copy and paste the alt-webring ring code into your blog before you will be activated. There are about a dozen blogs which are inactive right now because they're only showing the old RingSurf code. If you aren't sure how to find the new ring code or how to add it to your site, just send an e-mail to msmorenna (at) gmail (dot) com or leave a comment here.

RingSurf Progress and Name Change

I finally have control of the RingSurf ring again, so I can delete it yet again.  I never did get a reply from their support people but it appears that there was a server problem and they restored the data from an old copy.  I am once again deleting blogs and will then delete the ring itself.

As always, feel free to let your fiber friends know they are welcome to join the ring at alt-webring.com.

Name Change

You may have noticed that the name listed under "About Me" has changed.  Morenna is actually the name of my primary online gaming character. Much as I would like to claim it as my own invention, I cannot. I actually saw it at a fiber festival many years ago and borrowed it to name my game char. It has since become something of an online alter-ego for me. Over time, I came to the conclusion that it's a bit unfair to Robin Edmundson for me to continue to use the name she came up with for her company, regardless of how beautiful that name is. (By the way, Robin dyes gorgeous rovings and yarns. You really should go check it out. I'm particularly fond of the Hummingbird colorway.) So I have changed the name associated with my blogs. Yes, it's confusing and I'm sure it'll aggravate some of you, but it's the right thing to do, so I'm doing it. My apologies to Robin.

The new name is Ruby Louise, which is a combination of my grandmothers' names. I find this particularly appropriate since both of my grandmothers knit, crocheted, and/or quilted. I actually have my paternal grandmother's knitting and crochet tools, including one sweater in progress.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know in case you were confused by seeing Ruby Louise instead of Morenna.  It's still me.  You can still send e-mail to me at msmorenna (at) gmail (dot) com.
