Medium publications do not work like platforms that allow arbitrary site-wide HTML injection. The clearest and most reliable approach is to create a dedicated public page for your webring links.

Option A: Create a dedicated webring page (recommended)

1. Open your publication homepage.
2. Open Manage publication.
3. Go to Settings → Subpages and create a new subpage.
4. Add plain links for Prev, Random, Next, and Directory on that page.
5. Optionally add the page to your publication navigation.
6. Replace YOUR-SITE with that page URL if that is the page rootring should use.
7. If verification should use that page, set your Ring page URL to it in rootring.

Option B: Add off-site links in navigation

1. Open your publication homepage.
2. Open Manage publication.
3. Go to Settings → Navigation.
4. Create navigation items linking to the ring URLs below.
5. Save your changes and confirm the links appear in your publication navigation.

Option C: Use the About page

1. Open your publication homepage.
2. Open Manage publication.
3. Go to Settings → About.
4. Add the webring links there if you want a simple public location for them.
5. Replace YOUR-SITE with that page URL if that is the page rootring should use.
6. If verification should use that page, set your Ring page URL to it in rootring.

Medium works best with simple, clear link groups, but you can still browse the snippet gallery for wording and layout ideas.

Notes

Medium navigation supports off-site links, and publication subpages can also be linked from the navigation bar. A dedicated internal page is usually the clearest fit for a Medium setup.
