Rules to apply
1. You must be Chicano! Not Latino or Hispanic, but specifically Chicano!
2. You must be a creator or artist of any kind, and your page should display your work or have a gallery. This isn't a directory for personal websites or pages.
3. You must be 18 years or older.
4. Bigotry and hate speech are not tolerated.
5. Using or promoting generative AI, NFTs, blockchain assets, or cryptotrading is not allowed.
6. To join the webring, please have a finished website. If your website is still under construction or temporarily updating, you can always apply later, once your website is ready.
7. If you join the webring, you must add the webring widget onto your website.
8. You can join the webring with any kind of static website hosting - neocities.org, nekoweb.org, leprd.space, etc.
9. To join the static directory, please have at least a small library of work. Blank social media pages or social media pages with one post won't be accepted - you can always apply later, once your page is ready.
10. You can join the static directory with any form of social media, so long as it's solely for your art. Carrd, Linktree, or Straw.Page are also allowed.
Application
Copy and paste the following form into an email, fill it out, and send it to chicano.webring@proton.me. Make sure your subject line is "Your name / Site title - Directory Application", replacing "Your name" with your name and "Site title" with your site title, otherwise your application might get lost or will be discarded. Your email will be kept private.
Anything marked with a "*" is required.
* Will you join the webring directory or the static directory?: You can be a part of both, but please send one application for each.
* Image: An image that represents you or your work. This can be either a URL to the image or attached to the email. This'll appear besides your entry. Square dimensions are preferred. We will save and host the image on our website.
* Page Title: This can be your name or whatever you page goes by.
* Webpage URL: Your website's index page, or your primary social media page.
88px x 31px Button URL: This is optional. This can be either a URL to the image or attached to the email. This will be included in your description. We will save and host the button on our website.
* Description of you / your page: This description will be visible in the directory. This should be in first-person. Tell us about yourself and your work! Try to keep it to one paragraph. You don't have to be too formal.
* How would you categorize your work? Are you an illustrator, animator, musician, craft worker, a web designer, or make videos? Is there something here unlisted that you would categorize yourself as? What type of creator are you? Please only use one-word tags, so that your entry will be tagged as such.
What other communities are you a part of? This should only be shared if you are comfortable. Please only use one-word tags, so that your entry will be tagged as such.
* Content rating of your work: General audiences, Teen / 13 years or older, or mature content only suitable for adults. Choose only one, of course. Your entry will be tagged as such.
Would you like to get notified about chicano.neocities.org events or projects?: A "yes" or "no" answer will suffice. We will notify you using the email you submit your application with. This is for things like tables at festivals, zine projects, or other social events!
A response may take several days, especially as the webring is still in the early stages! If you are accepted, you will be added to the directory of your choice. Feedback will be provided for applications that need to be adjusted. We reserve the right to refuse any application for any reason.
Entries in the directory will look like this:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque vel lorem aliquet, eleifend sapien malesuada, lobortis est. Duis in semper lacus. Suspendisse potenti. Nullam bibendum, augue a laoreet consequat, lectus justo fringilla mi, ac congue mauris arcu quis enim. Mauris sollicitudin, ante consequat condimentum efficitur, lorem velit fermentum velit, dapibus ultricies nibh mauris non nisi. Phasellus laoreet tortor id tellus semper bibendum.

Adding the webring widget
It takes a few quick steps to add the webring widget onto your website once you've been added to the webring directory.
First, you must copy and paste the webring CSS link below in between your <head> </head> tags.
Next, you must choose a location on your index page where you want the widget to appear. Copy and paste the following script, making sure that this code is in between the <body> </body> tags.
The website URL that you choose to add into the directory must match where you place your widget. If your website hasn't been added to the directory, adding the webring widget will bring up an error. If you've already been added to the directory but are still getting an error, contact us at chicano.webring@proton.me.
Changes with your entry
If you'd like to change something with your entry - the image, the URL, description, button, maturity rating, or anything - or delete your entry, email chicano.webring@proton.me with your changes. Make sure your subject line is "Your name / Site title - Entry change", so that it's perfectly clear. You can change your entry as much as you want as often as you want, and choose to delete it if your prefer.
