Knights of Comics

Requirements

  • Your page must be comic book, anime/manga, or cartoon animation related.

  • An example of this would be pages that are related to Marvel Comics' characters and teams such as the X-Men, a page about Ghost in the Shell or Sailor Moon, or a page about Scooby Doo.

  • You, the candidate to be a Knight of Comics, must have spent a good amount of time on your webpage.

  • Don't worry, you don't have to time yourself. The quality of the page itself shows whether you put it together in a matter of 3-4 hours or have put a lot of effort and hours in it. This also means that your page must be well-organized, clear, and easy for the websurfer to search his or her way through the pages at your website. Pages under construction and/or states that it's under construction does not show that you have spent much time on your webpage!!!
  • Please if you want to increase the likelyhood for you to be "knighted" as a Knight of Comics, you *must* have a page that is near completion. A lot of pages that have been submitted for query are often "under construction" and does *not* have the webring material on it. This almost guarantees that the webmaster for this particular webpage is not ready for "knighthood" at all. The webpages being submitted for queue *must* meet the high standards set out by this webring.

  • Your page should be well-rounded with not only graphics, but of good, quality, information as well.

  • Too many webpages exists out there as just sites with a lot of pictures on it, but no information whatsoever. The website that you are submitting for consideration should have a good, considerable amount of information on it (i.e. biographical information, basic information, etc.) so that the websurfer may familiarize him/herself with the subject being presented on the webpage. This is one of the primary factors with which your webpage will be judged upon: whether your webpage maintains a balance of entertainment (in the form of graphics, sounds, etc.) and educational (information about the characters being presented, etc.) value. Too often, many cannot attain membership to become a knight of the Knights of Comics.

  • Like all other webrings, you must have the Knights of Comics Webring graphic in your opening page.

  • The HTML fragment will be given to you once you've registered with this site and again in the email that you will receive once you've registered. **No modification to the HTML fragment is needed!** All you have to do is just copy the text from the screen and/or email and paste the text directly into your opening page.
  • Like on my Wolverine page, some sites might have a separate page for webring graphics. If this is the case on your page, you may option out to put this in your opening page's HTML, but only if your page has a separate page for webring graphics (you still must put the graphical version of the Knights of Comics on your webring page):
  • Next Page on the Knights of Comics List Pages on the Knights of Comics Visit the Knight of Comics Homepage
    If this is what will suit your page, click here.

    It is under your honor, if you are selected to be a Knight of Comics, to abide by this rule. If you are made a Knight of Comics, and have been found to have violated this requirement, your knighthood will be stripped and you will not be reknighted until you have proven to me that you have a separate, linkable page where all your webring membership graphics are stored with this HTML fragment in your opening page *or* you have put the Knights of Comics Webring on the opening page of your site.


  • You will receive your knighthood to this webring once we have reviewed your site and deem it to be one which is of great quality.

  • If you are not sure what exactly is a webpage of great quality, feel free to visit the webpages of the knights at this site to see examples of what we're looking for.
  • Your site will be examined thoroughly for content, correct usage of HTML, graphics, ... basically, your site will be turned inside out. Only the best shall be knighted as a Knight of Comics because they earned it through painstakingly hard work.

  • Aspects of the webpage that we will be looking at to determine whether you, the author of that particular webpage, can actually become a Knight of Comics:

  • Correct useage of HTML, as well as transparent GIFs (when applicable). Also, is javascript used correctly, if used? And is all pictures on the page functional or do I find myself staring at a bunch of broken pictures once in awhile?
  • How well you use pictures on your page. Are they located in an organized fashion? Or do they appear to have been scattered around randomly? If you have a huge listing of pictures, do you utilize text links or tiny picture links? And if so, are these linkable pictures easy to load up or do they take forever (because the website author decided to just resize the huge 400kb picture into a small 25x25 linkable icon by using HTML)?
  • What one thing makes your page stand out from other webpages?
  • Is the page still under heavy construction?
  • Is the page filled with useful information about the character, book, or movie, or is it just another website that appears to "mirror" another website? (When I say this, I mean is it a website that gives a good detailed account on who Wolverine is, or is it a website that just says "Wolverine is that awesome clawed dude on the X-Men"?)
  • The overall appearance on the webpage. Is it well-organized and easy to manuever around it? Or do you find yourself consistently hitting the "back" button on your browser just to see another section on the page?
  • Upon leaving the webpage, does the websurfer leave feeling that they have at least gained one ounce of knowledge from your webpage? (The greatest webpages out there aren't the ones that contains the hugest library of scans known to man. The greatest webpages are those that has the right balance of information about its subject along with good, unique scans (scans hardly seen elsewhere on the web)).
  • Most importantly: will I want to come back to this website? When I return to this website, will I find that it has been updated at least once per month?
