Pylimitics

Pylimitics.net just joined the Wordy Webring. You can see this just below the dynamic “recent posts” list:

A webring is an old idea (“old” in internet time at least); the idea is that the site creator has connected with other sites that you might also like. It turns out that web rings are still active, and there are quite a lot of them. Web rings usually (maybe always?) have founders. The Wordy Webring is the work of Marta, whose site you can find on the web ring, and also here.

I’ve just started re-exploring web rings, and I’ve noticed a lot of participating sites have a retro design approach that brings you back to the early days of the web. We were all unashamedly amateurs then, and hardly anybody was trying to do a squarespace-style pseudo-corporate site. It’s pretty refreshing!

Try the web ring! I think I might add some more to Pylimitics.net. Probably not going to do a retro redesign though; one of the aspects of simplicity for this site is simplicity for me, which is why practically everything here is just slightly-modified WordPress themes and defaults.
