Widget template

Since every website is unique, we suggest you add your own flair to the lion. We also know that design is hard, so here are some examples to get you started:

HTML:

<div style="display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 8px;">
    <a href="https://cs.utdring.com/#your-site-here?nav=prev">←</a>
    <a href="https://cs.utdring.com/#your-site-here" target="">
        <img src="https://cs.utdring.com/icon.black.svg" alt="CS Webring" style="width: 24px; height: auto; opacity: 0.8;"/>
    </a>
    <a href="https://cs.utdring.com/#your-site-here?nav=next">→</a>
</div>
<!-- Replace 'your-site-here' with your actual site URL -->

JSX:

<div style={{ display: 'flex', alignItems: 'center', gap: '8px' }}>
    <a href='https://cs.utdring.com/#your-site-here?nav=prev'>←</a>
    <a href='https://cs.utdring.com/#your-site-here' target=''>
        <img
            src='https://cs.utdring.com/icon.black.svg'
            alt='CS Webring'
            style={{ width: '24px', height: 'auto', opacity: 0.8 }}
        />
    </a>
    <a href='https://cs.utdring.com/#your-site-here?nav=next'>→</a>
</div>
// Replace 'your-site-here' with your actual site URL

For dark-themed websites, use icon.white.svg. Feel free to host the icon locally if you encounter HTTPS issues / styling issues.

Alternative Icons Sources

• Black: https://cs.utdring.com/icon.black.svg
• White: https://cs.utdring.com/icon.white.svg
• Red: https://cs.utdring.com/icon.red.svg

If none of these quite work for you, feel free to make your own. If you're using React, start with icon.custom.tsx.

Q&A

I'm not in CS. Can I still join?

No :)

In all realness, this is the only existing webring at UT Dallas as far as I'm aware. They aren't too complex to make & can be a great way to connect with bright minds, so consider creating your own!

Do you accept alumni and post-grad students?

Yep, as long as you studied Computer Science or are currently studying it

What about minors, double degrees (ie CS BBA), etc?

👍

Credits & Inspiration

This project is (obviously) forked from the UWaterloo CS webring, so credit goes to them for creating such a well polished site!

I (Ryan) currently maintain the site, so if you see any bugs please let me know by making an issue. I'll try to respond as fast as I can :)
