RSS Blogroll -plugin for WordPress
This is great stuff people! If you’re running a self hosted WordPress blog, this one is a must replacement for your boring old static blogroll. As you’ve probably noticed, the blogroll links are not really that enticing in terms of clicking on them, unless someone is really hungry for reading, or know your blogroll is likely to contain very targeted blogs, there’s not much of a chance someone clicking on them. Sure, giving a blogroll link to someone is a favour in terms of link love, but there’s more you can do for the blogs you love!
Blogrolls are also a bit stupid because they require maintenance and you need to periodically check your links are actually up to date. As I was installing RSS Blogroll for my “thinking blog” My Dear Hard Drive, I noticed a lot of them were either completely broken, pointing in a wrong place or the blogger had updated some time last year saying they’re quitting blogging. Even though I visited some of the blogs anyway, I didn’t remember to update the blogroll when they stopped blogging. RSS Blogroll is going to fix that problem for you!
RSS Blogroll is a plugin that updates your favourite blogs feeds instead just the name of the blog and the link. It will give links to the latest articles written on your favourite blogs, and if your blogger friends are not updating – no problem, as their blogs will simply disappear from your list! Check out my RSS Blogroll on the sidebar for reference. Don’t you just love it?
