Try this, with the following provisos

#1 - You're hosted with Geocities. Their hosting changes pages that
you upload, sufficient to make a mockery of any serious web design. If
you care about web design, you just can't host with Geocities.

#2 - I've hacked the middle of this page around to make it workable
and valid. I haven't fixed the whole page and I haven't made it perfect
- there's still 3.2 code in there, but it's not really harmful.

# 3 I'm posting the changed fragment via Usenet for discussion, but I
don't know how much damage it will suffer in transit so I've also
uplaoded it it to the web here
http://codesmiths.com/dingbat/lj/violin/violinwebringcode.html

I hope this is helpful to you - please post with any further questions.



<p>In order to join the ring you will need two elements: the graphic
image and the block of source code.</p>

<ul>

<li>
<h3>Image:</h3>
<p>Save the image to your web site.
<br>You may find that your browser allows you to right-click on the
image and use "Save As" or "Save Image As":
<center><img src="viulu1.gif" alt="Logo for the Violin Webring"
title="Logo for the Violin Webring" ></center>
</li>

<li>
<h3>Source Code:</h3>

<p>Copy and paste the following into your web page:

<pre style="padding: 1em; margin: 1em; border: thin solid black;
background-color: #eeeeee; color: #000; overflow: scroll;" >
&lt;!-- Begin ViolinWebRing code --&gt;


&lt;div style="margin: 1em auto; padding: 1em; border: thick ridge;
width: 14em;" &gt;

&lt;a href="http://www.geocities.com/techfiddle/TOC.html"
title="View the current members of the Violin Webring"
>&lt;img src="viulu1.gif" alt="Violin WebRing" style="border:
none;" &gt;
&lt;br&gt;ToC&lt;/a&gt;
&amp;bull;
&lt;a style="font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase;"

&gt;Join&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;!-- End VioinWebring code --&gt;
</pre>
</li>

</ul>

<p>Together they will look like this:

<div align="center" >

<!-- Begin ViolinWebRing code -->

14em;" >
