So here's a thing. I learned "to #internet" back when the social media of this year would be replaced by the social media of next year: #BBS's, #Fidonet, #Usenet, #WebRings discussion forums, on and on.

Useful.
Indieweb Webring Button

Inspired by The Online Webring, I made an Indieweb webring button that has mapped clickable regions for previous, next and webring links. <div style="margin-top: 20px;"> <map name="indie8831"> <area shape="rect" coords="38,0,88,15" href="https://xn--sr8hvo.ws/previous" alt="Previous"> <area shape="rect" coords="38,16,88,31" href="https://xn--sr8hvo.ws/next" alt="Next"> <area shape="rect" coords="0,0,38,31" href="https://xn--sr8hvo.ws" alt="IndieWeb"> </map> <img src="https://scientiac.space/assets/indieweb.png" usemap="#indie8831" width="88" height="31" alt="IndieWeb Webring" style="display: block; margin: 0 auto; width: 88px; height: 31px; max-width: none; border-radius: 0 !important; image-rendering: pixelated; border: none;"> </div> But, I had to use this on my footer which basically hides the links but still make my site valid to the webring bot: <div style="font-size: 0; opacity: 0; height: 0; width: 0; overflow: hidden;"> <a href="https://xn--sr8hvo.ws/previous" rel="prev">Previous</a> <a href="https://xn--sr8hvo.ws/next" rel="next">Next</a> </div> Please tell me if that should not be done. Also, If you want to make changes to it, I made it as an SVG using Inkscape.

I still like the #web.
And sometimes I get #nostalgic. #Webrings is one of those nostalgic web things.

Lately, I've been looking at getting this site signed up in web rings (we bring...), because.. Well, why really?

Firesphere.dev
I agree! I love that idea! I do need to seriously get into webrings a bit more. I guess I just don't fully understand them? Like, I like IndieWeb blog directories far more so if they, WebRings, could be like a collection of websites I can browse with a description or something I can browse in a list, I like that better, far better, than say, hitting next website on the ring. I guess I like to know where I am going! #WebRing #WebRings @natecox
