Webring information
What qualifies as a static website?
A site whose public pages are delivered as HTML, CSS, images, and optional browser scripts. Static generators and static hosting are welcome. Guno uses technical signals and human review; a technology detector cannot prove every site's architecture.
What happens if my site or badge breaks?
Checks respect robots.txt and use bounded requests. A temporary error does not remove you. Three unsuccessful checks on separate days can pause navigation; we email you and keep your record so an admin can restore it after review. Sites that block automated checks can contact Guno.
Can I customize the badge?
Yes. Choose any of the three styles or use your own design. Keep visible Previous, Random, and Next links with your exact member ID. The badge page may differ from the homepage, but must use the same hostname. No JavaScript is needed.
How are sites ordered?
By first approval, with a stable member ID as a tie-breaker. Previous and Next wrap around the ring. Random chooses another active member. Paused and rejected sites are skipped. Membership does not automatically add a site to Guno's search catalog.
