🧊 Club

🧊 Club is a very cool webring, and you can be part of it if you like.

What a webring is

If you’re in the webring, your website is listed on this website. You’ll also have a little set of buttons on your website like this:

⬅️🧊➡️

These will let visitors to your website click between sites in the webring, hopefully discovering other cool websites and leading cool folks to discover your cool website in turn.

Rules

We do have some rules about what kind of sites we would like to be in the webring:

• Any form of hate is, obviously, not allowed.
• It must be a personal website that you own and is for you, not a company or something.
• You must display the buttons on your website, otherwise you’ll break the chain!
• We don’t want any content that is pro-crypto, generative AI, web3, etc. The point of the personal web is to get away from this stuff.
• We reserve the right to remove any dead links from the webring.
• We strongly prefer blogs to be part of the webring, ideally ones updated somewhat regularly, but we’re prepared to bend this rule if your site is really cool.

How to join

Create an issue in our GitHub repo (or a PR if you’re feeling brave). The info we need looks like this:

---
# Your name or website name
name: Joel Auterson
# The next number in the chain (we can give you this)
weight: 2 
# Your website
site: https://joelotter.com 
# An image. This can be a relative URL if hosted on your
# site, or an absolute URL for one from elsewhere.
image: /img/profile.jpg 
# (Optional) The RSS feed on your website, if you have one.
feed: /posts/index.xml
---

A description of your site, in a few sentences.

The file should be yourname.md, e.g. joel.md or pat.md.

To be added, you also need to add the buttons to your website:

<p>
  <a href="https://join-the-cool.club/members/yourname?prev" style="text-decoration: none">⬅️</a>
  <a href="https://join-the-cool.club/members/yourname" style="text-decoration: none">🧊</a>
  <a href="https://join-the-cool.club/members/yourname?next" style="text-decoration: none">➡️</a>
</p>

And you’re done. Welcome to 🧊 Club!
