WEBRING DESCRIPTION
The BabyZone August 2000 Moms group was formed through a message board on BabyZone by expectant moms looking to meet others with babies due in and around August, 2000. We also maintain a Family.com site (password required) where we post messages to each other, and show off our latest photos of our families. I suspect that as August ends we will be relying more on this site for communication, while also moving to the Summer 2000 Babies Message Board on BabyZone.
The BabyZone August 2000 Moms WebRing seeks to link together the various sites created and maintained by women from the BabyZone August 2000 Message Board.
WHO CAN JOIN THE WEBRING
Any woman from the BabyZone August 2000 Message Board who maintains her own personal or business web page may submit her ring. We welcome pages about you as well as your baby and family.
The RingMistress has sole discretion on which pages are accepted into the ring. Sites automatically excluded from the WebRing include those containing pornography or any material deemed by the RingMistress to be inappropriate to children.
HOW TO JOIN THE WEBRING
To submit your site for inclusion in the ring, please use the Submit Form. You will first need to enter the WebRing's HTML code on your page. The RingMistress will not accept your page into the WebRing without the required fragment.
Please place the fragment on the main (index) page of your site, or on a site clearly marked for web rings. If you do maintain a web ring page, kindly link to this page from your index page.
DIRECTIONS FOR NEW MEMBERS
Once your site has been accepted into the BabyZone August 2000 Moms WebRing, you will be given an ID code to be pasted on to the WebRing's HTML fragment you already entered on your page.

The New Homemaker: Resources for the Domestic Rennaisance
This website has a wealth of information for "new" homemakers, or those who have found their contributions to family, elders, and the community are better served by working at home rather than engaging in a more "traditional" job. The New Homemaker provides training in domestic skills, as well as articles and forums about topics such as cleaning, elder care, and meal preparation.
