Rolling, rolling, rolling...

...Keep them blogs a'rolling, BLOGROLL!

Heh. Yeah, I'm a dork. What do you want? Shakespeare? NOT.

Anyway. What's been on MY mind lately is "how does one make an effective blogroll?" I had ideas, but I wanted to see how the rest of the blogosphere does it first. So, of course I fired up Google, thinking I should find some good articles relatively easily....

NOPE.

You would think something that is so common to so many web sites would have some pretty good resources. And, let's be fair, if you're using a "commercial" CMS package like Wordpress, Joomla!, or Drupal (to name a few), you are in luck. If, like me, you are writing your own CMS, it's not so nice. I only found one decent tutorial. Fortunately, it does prove the old adage that "quality" beats "quantity" every time, since it's a darn good tutorial.

So, look for the GNS blogroll to change sometime soon, once I've worked the bugs out of the new script. I think you'll like it.

:]
