Adding Castle Webring to your site is simple: use Previous, Random, and Next buttons or links.

Next and previous

https://cxyz.web.app/next/?site=YOUR_ID
https://cxyz.web.app/previous/?site=YOUR_ID

You can also use your domain as the site value instead of remembering your numeric ID.

https://cxyz.web.app/next/?site=example.com
https://cxyz.web.app/previous/?site=example.com

Random

https://cxyz.web.app/random/

Example HTML

<a href="https://cxyz.web.app/previous/?site=1">Previous</a>
<a href="https://cxyz.web.app/random/">Random</a>
<a href="https://cxyz.web.app/next/?site=1">Next</a>

Straw.Page, WIX

You do not need custom JavaScript. If your simple website builder can make an element open a URL, it can join Castle Webring.

Straw.Page

  1. Publish your Straw.Page and copy its address, for example yourname.straw.page.
  2. Create or select the three elements you want to use for Previous, Random, and Next. They can be text, images, shapes, or anything else you want people to tap.
  3. Select an element and tap link in the bottom toolbar.
  4. Put the matching Castle Webring URL in the URL field. Repeat for the other two elements.
Previous: https://cxyz.web.app/previous/?site=yourname.straw.page
Random:   https://cxyz.web.app/random/
Next:     https://cxyz.web.app/next/?site=yourname.straw.page

Replace yourname.straw.page with your real published Straw.Page address.

WIX

  1. Publish your WIX site and copy its public address.
  2. Create or select three elements for Previous, Random, and Next.
  3. Add a link to each one and use the same Castle Webring URLs above, replacing the site= value with your WIX site’s domain.

Other simple website builders

Use the same method with any builder that supports normal external links.
