Small Press Ring

What's this?

A community of sites around a common topic, also known as a webring. Each member includes a badge on their site that links to the previous and next sites in the ring. Kids in the 90s used to love it! And here's a persuasive article on why we should bring them back.

How to join

To join the ring, open a pull request and supply the name and URL of your site. If you publish a RSS feed, you can provide that as well. If you don't have a Github account, you can also use this form to sign up. The ring admins will then look at your site and handle your request.

Add the banner

Once you've joined the ring, copy this code snippet into your site:

<webring-banner>
    <p>Member of the <a href="https://smallpressring.netlify.app">Small Press Ring</a></p>
    <a href="https://smallpressring.netlify.app/prev">Previous</a>
    <a href="https://smallpressring.netlify.app/random">Random</a>
    <a href="https://smallpressring.netlify.app/next">Next</a>
</webring-banner>
<script async src="https://smallpressring.netlify.app/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

It will render this banner that links to the other members:

You can style this however you want; just remove the line for "script". For itch.io pages, something like this pasted into your profile page should work:

<p><a href="https://smallpressring.netlify.app/prev">Prev</a> <a href="https://smallpressring.netlify.app">Small Press Ring</a> <a href="https://smallpressring.netlify.app/next">Next</a></p>
