What is Webring?

tldr; A webring is a closed, doubly linked list of websites.

A webring is a collection of websites linked together in a loop. Each website contains links to the previous and next websites in the ring. If you navigate far enough, eventually you end up back where you started!

Webrings were popular in the early days of the internet as a way for website owners to promote each other's content and encourage community engagement.

Create an issue to join

How do I get in?

1. Be a UCSD student or a former UCSD student.
2. Put the navigation buttons for gathering somewhere on your webpage (see below).
3. Have some content on your webpage. Tell us about yourself!
4. Create an issue to join or create a PR manually.

Take a look at websites.toml and put your website information down there. Not all fields need to be filled out, like atom or rss.

An entry might look like:

[[websites]]
name ="Example 1 Site"
slug = "Example1"
about = "Example Website 1!"
url = "https://example1.com"
owner = "owner 1 (your github username is fine!)"

After that, add the webring HTML somewhere on your site, like the sidebar or footer. Replace YOUR_SLUG with the slug you wrote above!

<a href="https://kytrinh.me/gathering/YOUR_SLUG/previous">&larr;</a>
<a href="https://kytrinh.me/gathering">gathering</a>
<a href="https://kytrinh.me/gathering/YOUR_SLUG/next">&rarr;</a>

And that's it!
