Archaeoring

Welcome!

This webring is for personal websites or blogs maintained by archaeologists, historians and academics focused on the human past.

We have buttons! Check them out!

Membership Rules

This is a themed webring, thus we welcome any kind of site focused on archaeology, ancient history or scholarly communication about the human past. Your site can be a blog or a personal website, as long as the requirements above are met. We do not accept sites that reproduce or condone:

• Hate speech
• Racism, sexism, any kind of bigotry
• Misinformation and pseudoscience
• Advertisement-focused sites

As it is impossible to list everything that would not be acceptable, so we do reserve the right to deny requests. As a general rule of thumb, everything listed as unacceptable on the archaeo.social Mastodon server also applies here.

This webring is intended to be used by people, institutions and journals might join if they keep a blog that it is used for outreach and communication.

Note: we (currently) do not offer webrings for other protocols/platforms, such as Gemini.

How to Join

1. Add the minimum required links to your website. Copy the HTML below for a basic approach, changing example.com with your actual domain, OR if you want to customize it further, add the required archaeoring links to your site's homepage yourself, replacing YOURDOMAIN with your site's domain. See below the Table of Required Links.
2. Add yourself to the webring by either:
• Sending an email to webring@archaeo.social with your name and the domain/link to your website or blog.
• Opening an issue on the codeberg repository.
• Forking the repository, edit the members file and add your name and your website domain (not a link) to the list, separated by a singles space. You can take a look at the current members file to understand the syntax. After editing, create a pull request so that we can merge your submission.
3. Enjoy and spread the word!

The following is an example HTML code for linking to the next and previous ring members. If you copy and paste this code, please ensure to change example.com with your actual domain.

<p>
  <a href="https://webring.archaeo.social/previous?host=example.com">←</a>
  <a href="https://webring.archaeo.social/">Archaeoring</a>
  <a href="https://webring.archaeo.social/next?host=example.com">→</a>
</p>

The result will look like this (depending on your site's style)

← Archaeoring →

If you would like, you can also link to https://webring.archaeo.social/random; it directs visitors to a random site in the ring. This one is optional though.

Buttons

It's not a true webring without some old-school buttons, so we have a few to offer! You're welcome to use any of them on your webpage.

To include them on your website, download the button of your choice and use something like the following:

<a href="https://webring.archaeo.social/" target="_blank">
    <img alt="archaeoring"
         width="88"
         height="31"
         src="archaeoring_button1.png" />
</a>

Please don't hotlink the images here as it increases our hosting costs.
