This is the home of the Smart & Lazy webring.

We here at Smart & Lazy HQ believe that this is not simply another online journal webring. No. Smart & Lazy is something special. Something different. Something, dare we say, unusual.

To be a member of this ring, your journal must possess certain qualities.

It must be smart:

• It must be updated at least three times a week. Special consideration may be given to sites that update less frequently, if we believe the content to be extraordinary.

• It must have been going for at least six months. This will convince us that you are serious about this journaling thing, and not apt to quit two days after you submit your site to the ring.

• You must use punctuation. Capital letters at the beginnings of sentences, periods at the ends, apostrophes where necessary, the whole bit.

• Grammar counts. We are not grammar Nazis here at Smart & Lazy, but it is something we take into consideration.

• As of 6/6/01, weblogs will no longer be accepted in this ring. Weblogs are great, but this ring is specifically for online journals. Sorry.

It must be accessible by the lazy:

• It must load within 30 seconds or so. In this fast-paced society, we do not have the time to wait for a 500K front page to download. This requirement will be strictly enforced. Smart & Lazy HQ has a 28.8 modem; be forewarned.

• It must not have pop-up windows. We are too lazy to continually close them.

• It must be legible. We are too lazy to strain our eyes.

• You must use navigation links ("Back" and "Next" or some such) between entries. We are too lazy to go hunting around your site to find the next or previous entry. DiaryLand applicants, please take note.

If you believe that your site passes muster, and if, after reading these stringent requirements, you still want to be a part of the phenomenon that is Smart & Lazy, you may add your site to the ring.

Or, you can:
