 | | How about some link images?

Has anyone thought about some link-images for ldraw.org, that people could use on their web-pages? Similar to the ones Todd created for people to link to Lugnet, look at (URL) to see what I mean. It would be really nice if the ldraw.org images would (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

As I said in a previous post, I have set up an LDraw Webring for use on ldraw.org. It will be a few days getting it set up, but most of the content I am taking from the Lego Maniac's Webring and reformatting it. I would like to offer a selection of (...)

(...) Right. LDraw can be used as the base for an LDLite rendering, a Povray image, VRML walkthrough, etc, ad infinitum. (...) Correct.

Should I put ldraw.org in the Lego Maniac's Webring? I can have it done in seconds since I'm the ringmaster. Advantages, disadvantages?
