SKULE™ WebRing

A WebRing for University of Toronto Engineering students and the broader UofT community. This WebRing connects personal websites, portfolios, and blogs of UofT students, faculty, and alumni.

About

The SKULE™ WebRing connects websites of UofT SKULE™ members through a retro-inspired WebRing. It's a way to discover interesting sites, share your work, and build connections.

Joining the WebRing

  1. Genuine Content - Your website should be "made with hands," meaning it contains genuine and useful content. Auto-generated sites or pages with minimal effort are not eligible.

  2. Appropriateness - Content must be appropriate, websites should not host illegal information nor aid in the dissemination of such information.

  3. Website Badge - You must provide a badge icon in .PNG or .GIF format that will be displayed in the members list. See the Website Badges section below for details.

  4. Widget Integration - The WebRing widget must be included on your website in an accessible location (preferably in the footer or sidebar).

  5. UofT Affiliation - You must be a UofT student, alumni, faculty, or staff member.

Maintenance

Websites may be removed from the WebRing if they become defunct (e.g., domain expires, site becomes inaccessible, or content is removed). Websites will be removed if content on websites becomes inappropriate for the ring. We'll make reasonable attempts to contact site owners before removal.

Widget Templates

Since every website is unique, we suggest you add your own flair to the icon. Here are some examples to get you started:

Website Badges

You need to create a custom badge for your website to display in the members table.

Creating Your Badge

  1. Create a PNG, GIF, or SVG image for your website badge
  2. Recommended dimensions: 88px × 31px (standard badge size)
  3. Upload the badge to your website or include it in a PR
  4. Include the path to your badge in your member entry in the badge field
    • For badges hosted on your website: use the full URL (e.g., https://your-website.com/badge.png)
    • For badges included in a PR: use a relative path (e.g., badges/your-custom-badge.svg)

Badge Examples and Formatting

Badges must be 88x31 pixels or some multiple of this, they can png, .gif, or .svg file types. Here are some example badge styles you might consider.
