Oh! Dang! Many thanks to Kristof for pointing out a glaring oversight in my recent updates to make the IndieWeb Webring 🕸️💍 more deterministic:

I forgot to give the “random site” feature its own link!

It’s back! You can now visit 🕸️💍.ws/random to go to a random active site on the ring.

It’s also linked on the landing page of the webring.

For best results, add it to your bookmarks! 🔖🕸️💍🎲

Without realizing it, Marty has robbed me of my favorite toy: Accessing random pages of the Indieweb Webring and either creeping me out or continuing to surf the site with a smile.

Marty's updated next/ previous to wander around the indieweb ring! This is something I'd contributed to Marty when I did my own tweaks and tests of his generously released indiewebring code. This makes me so happy. Even happier is him adding the Random capability as well, so you can still dance around everywhere or start meandering through point via point. I've now got Indiewebring neighbors!

It was an honor to make the IndieWeb Webring a little better with my hint and thanks to Marty’s quick response I now have my random toy and pastime again ;) Of course, I immediately added the new /random link and replaced the old emoji-style links with the normal ones, because Marty’s link checker on the dashboard reminded me to do so. However, the following recheck resulted in a new warning: ? Found unknown link: https://xn--sr8hvo.ws/random :D Marty … there is still a little something to fix …
