Were webrings implemented using image tags as well? My memory is faint, I remember having to copy/paste quite large a snippet of code, but don’t remember the actual implementation.

It’s probably infinitely more simple than I think it was.

There was a whole block of pre-formatted HTML you would have to insert into your website. When you clicked on a button to navigate the ring it would like to a cgi script on the "owners" domain to take you to the next site.

Edit: Down this [1] page a little bit you can see an example of the code you would have to copy/paste
