I have seen few people with webrings on HN as of recent. Hard to tell if it's gaining momentum or I am just lucky?

Example: I was reading https://www.jefftk.com/index yesterday which also included webring.

I don't know if they are, I think, a bit, the "old web" is actually huge, but getting into it takes some effort.. Sometimes, you find these hub-like sites, for example when browsing a webring (shameless plug geekring.net ), that leads deeper into some neocities commune or similar, it's great fun :)

My site is also using Drev DeVault’s openring, which is a relatively new tool.

Opening really is a godsend for starting a webring, especially in combination with some static site generator like Hugo.

Random question, since your site came up: what do your kids use to make their personal pages? Thinking of doing something similar with my 7-year-old and 4-year-old this fall.

They dictate and I type plain html + css. Sometimes they ask for complicated things (like when Lily first wanted polka dots) and I look it up.

Lily's Inxed page and RSS feed are from a script I wrote that does it manually: https://github.com/jeffkaufman/webscripts/blob/master/lilyrs...

I wrote about this some here: https://www.jefftk.com/p/helping-the-kids-post

Haha ... Lily's blog is great. Good job, Dad.

I loved pony podcast lol.
