![]() Yes, it’s a webring! In 2025! Fully functioning! For real people who actually blog! Because we're taking back the good parts of the internet from the 1990s and early 2000s to help us actually FIND each other online, free from trash algorithms, "A.I." sludge, SEO nonsense, and the bigotry of so many terrible social media sites! Blogs in the WebringMore YES WE BLOG! blogs** These blogs run on versions of Wordpress that aren't compatiblewith the webring code, but you can visit them at these links! crewmansixrants.wordpress.com/blog/ christinedbakermes.wordpress.com/ falkensmaze1983.com victoriajanssen.com flyspacecuttlefish.com Want to join the Webring?Also please note that this is really a proof-of-concept that webrings can be done in 2025 and can work with both old school Neocities.org sites and modern WordPress sites (although sadly it relies on Java, which only runs on Wordpress sites paying for the Business and above plans). I'll keep this going as long as I can, but this is handmade web stuff, which means it will last and be awesome as long as whoever's running it (me!) can maintain it. The cool news is that it doesn't depend on any one of us -- you can make one of these yourself! I built this using the awesome onionring code from garlic.garden, which I modified just a little for simplified navigation link design. I'll try to post later with a guide with my tweaks, in case they're helpful for others. Here are the gifs that can accompany the webring navigation links on your website. You can use the bigger, old school, 468x60 pixel banner or the 88x31 pixel button, depending on what looks better on your site. Feel free to make them link to this page for the full effect. ![]() ![]() The code snippet The code in the gray box below will create a set of navigation links on your website. These links are the heart of the webring - test them out by clicking on "PREV" and "NEXT" to move from site to site in the webring; clicking on "RANDOM" for a random site in the webring; and clicking on "LIST" for this page, which includes a list of all sites in the webring. Like what you see? Cut and paste the code in the gray box below into your website under the gif, preferably on the bottom of the page. (Again, sadly, if you're using Wordpress, please note that the code requires Java and apparently will not work on WP sites that aren't paying for Business level or higher hosting.)
