You can make your own webring widget if you like, its VERY simple; you can make it anyway you like just include these two links:
- The Surf Club Page - https://melonland.net/surf-club.html
- The Random Site button - https://brain.melonking.net/surf-club-random
Site Rules and Moderation
Melon does his best to make sure all the sites in the webring are safe and good; however homepages are the personal spaces of the individuals who created them, so they may express personal views that you (or melon) dont agree with!
The surf club is aimed at creative personal homepages rather than self promotion; with that in mind, social media accounts and link lists wont be included.
Sites that don't loosely fit the MelonLand rules may be removed; if you see a site that contains hurtful material or is totally broken. Please report it to webmaster@melonking.net !
