You MUST be a member of Little Dragon Castle to join.
If you're not a member but are interested in joining, please visit the LDC Join Page.
Your site MUST be family friendly and adhere to the Little Dragon Castle rules.
Vote Exchanging: Vote exchanging is not allowed. Votes are gathered through judgment of the sites quality by your visitors and not upon the ability of the site owner to contract with others for votes.
As of March 31, 2002, personal vote reminders are the recommended manner of gaining support for your site. It is not the only method you might use, however, any method you do use must conform to the intent to the following guidance.
The formally approved method is for the site owner to personally contact individuals they wish to invite to their pages. The Little Dragon Castle site URLs are copyright information and Shall Not be used in the communication.
The contact communication should provide the URL of your personal web site asking contacts to look at the site content and consider if the visitor thinks the quality of the web site deserves their support. Further, the visitor should be asked that if they feel the site is deserving of a vote for quality, to move to the Vote Button that is linked from the site owners web pages to the voting table in the competition.
Placement of the vote button is at the discretion of the site owner. It is recommended that the vote button be placed on the entrance page of the site for ease of location. The vote button may be linked directly to the appropriate Little Dragon Castle voting table.
Linking directly to a site's vote banner page is not recommended. When a vote banner page is being used the site owner should advise potential visitors that the vote button is contained on a separate page.
Vote Boards, "Quilts" or Clubs may be used however, prior to joining a Board, Quilt or Club, verify that the Board, Quilt or Club is acceptable in that it does not violate the vote exchanging rules.
Review the rules of the particular Vote Board, Quilt or Club. If their rules require that listed site owners vote for all the sites listed, even if text is entered to say the site is listed as a non-vote exchange site, the Board, Quilt or Club is a Vote Exchanging site and Shall Not be used.
The Little Dragon Castle vote table URLs are copyright and Shall Not be used in the Board, Quilt or Club listing. Should a site owner join a Board, Quilt or Club, a link to the site owners pages, and only the site owners pages, should be provided. DO NOT provide a direct link to the Little Dragon Castle voting table.
Should you need guidance or assistance in determining if a Board, Quilt or Club is acceptable contact your Team Guide.
Site owners who may have entered into vote exchanging, that would now be in violation of this revised rule, shall be given the opportunity to revise their listing with the vote exchanging site.
All votes received from the vote exchangers shall be discarded and not counted. Continued violation of this rule, after a request to refrain from vote exchanging by a member of the Competition Staff, will result in the site being disqualified from the competition.
You banner must be 468x60 px. Banners that fall outside these specifications will automatically resize to fit which can result in your banner looking distorted.
Once you have submitted your site, you will receive an email containing instructions on how to verify your submission.
Once you have verified your submission, the list owner will be notified and will review your site. Once the list owner has approved your submission, you will receive your linking instructions.
We do require proper linkage from somewhere on your site.
Sites that show no incoming hits when the monthly stats are reset, will be checked to see if proper linkage is present. If none is found, your site will be removed from the topsite.
The topsites stats are reset to zero at the end of each month and the top three sites are awarded with web awards.
