latch Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I though it would be cool if we had a webring for our portfolios. If you don't know what that is, it is a ring of websites connected by a logo or link that leads to the next website in the ring. Eventually the websurfer comes back around to the first page they originally landed on.So if a person happens on your portfolio, it is easy for them to see every portfolio in the ring. I was thinking of using a logo like this(which I made in Blender): Html5 Game Webring Click the logo for the next site If you are interested in being included, please post a link to your portfolio in this thread and I will set it up. If you have suggestions or questions, post them here. Note: I will probably make the logo a bit smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Wow, web rings. That takes me back to the early 90s (you've even got the cheesy 3D animated gif as well!) blackmoondev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkyy Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Webrings are extremally dangerous for SEO.If this idea will survive and you will get few people on board hit me and I will help you to avoid negative effect from Google (I own SEO company so you will be in good hands ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbogoes Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Cool idea! Also the logo is good, but what about a saturn ring with the html5 emblend as planet? Simpel and more 2D (maybe pixel style). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latch Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Wow, web rings. That takes me back to the early 90s (you've even got the cheesy 3D animated gif as well!)What?! Cheezy?! I think it rocks! And I can change it in any way but, It doesn't hurt my emotions if its a bad or outdated idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Hah sorry man, it's too cheesy for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latch Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Heh, well.If you were to be more constructive, what would be your suggestion? Maybe rotate the other way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Nah go for it - don't let me stop you! I just honestly thought webrings sort of died out with AltaVista. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latch Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 No I meant the logo. I don't claim to have any design sense. I think a thing is cool and no one agrees. That disconnect is part of being an intp. What would help scrape the cheese off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Oh.. dropping the 3D animated ring for a start But seriously ... don't worry about it, just keep on having fun in Blender and making stuff. I remember when I used to spend hours in Bryce rendering out silly little water and cloud scenes all over the place. I wish I had time like that to just mess around again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latch Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 I don't really have time for it either, but I took last night off to goof around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentxxBunny Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 This is a cool idea. I must have missed it back in the 90s, though. I've never seen anything like this before. But then again, I was 7 at the time so I might not have been paying very much attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbogoes Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The logo has this Bryce 3D style (primitive without texture etc), but why not. The only thing is that HTML5 stuff is 2D, so it has not much sense... Dead links in a webring are a problem, better to be an adminstrator of a gamesite with external links.

latch Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Occasionally you still see them. Blogspot blogs still use them sorta. Here's a random example: http://zhemganghss.blogspot.com/ See up top to the left where it says, "Next Blog>>" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@99golems Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I'm willing to be more than a handful of younger people on this forum had to Bing what a webring is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
