cu-webring

A webring for Carleton Students by Carleton Students.

Heavily inspired by Waterloo's SE Webring and McGill's Webring.

What's a webring?

A webring is a group of websites linked together in a circular structure, usually organized around a specific theme, and often educational or social. In our case, the webring is not circular, and much closer to a hub and spoke. This is because asking everyone to update their website when someone adds/removes theirs would be near impossible, and would discourage the use of the webring.

The idea behind this webring is to bring exposure and traffic to your personal website, with the hopes of creating a more community-like experience during your time at Carleton.

How do I join?

To add your site, you MUST be a current student or alumni at Carleton University.

1. Fork the repo

2. Add your details in js/user_sites.js to the end of the sites array. The 4 values are:

   • Full Name
   • Year Admitted to Carleton
   • Website URL (must be your personal website)
   • URL Alias (Optional, this is for if you don't like your url or wish to shorten it, ex: name.github.io -> name.io. Aliases must contain your name.)

3. Optional, but please mention the webring somewhere on your website. Preferably, have it link back to the main site (cu-webring.org).

4. Create a pull request and fill in the details.

How long will the webring be maintained for?

As long as the url is working (cu-webring.org), we (@yufengliu15 & @rapha-pro) will maintain the webring. So do not hesitate to open a pull request!
