Overview

A webring for SYDE and BME students from the University of Waterloo. Open to all current and past students, as well as faculty. Webrings were a popular way to link websites in the '90s, meant to increase traffic and discoverability, especially among personal/amateur websites. This webring links sites in a circular way, providing links on each site to traverse to the next and previous site.

Webring template

It's reccomend to adjust the styling based on your site, but feel free to start with this:

<div style="line-height: 1em; display: flex;align-items: center; gap: 12px;">
	<a href="https://sydeb.me/#[your site URL]?nav=prev" style="text-decoration:none; color:black">&lt;</a>
	<a href="https://sydeb.me" target="_blank">
	  <img src="https://sydeb.me/icons/black.svg" alt="SYDE/BME Webring" style="width: 24px;">
	</a>
	<a href="https://sydeb.me/#[your site URL]?nav=next" style="text-decoration:none; color:black">&gt;</a>
</div>

Replace [your site URL] with your website.

This example uses the black icon, but we also have a white and blue version at https://www.sydeb.me/icons/white.svg and https://www.sydeb.me/icons/blue.svg. As well, you can edit the svg and change the colour to whatever you prefer.
