Registration is still down at blogrolling.com so I was wondering if there was an alternative to it? I've visited some pretty great sites over the past few days and I want to be able to list time on my web site without having to modify my code every 10 minutes.

Jennifer wrote a Add a Link script that gives similar results to how blogrolling works.  :)

Ok quick question...

I've been using the script and I love it. I just changed to check weblogs.com for site updates and I noticed my page sidebars load slower now (obviously its gotta check all my entries). Does blogrolling also slow down page loading? If not it might be a good reason for me to switch.

Weird.

I just tried to go to that script, and I got a "Forbidden" error.

I haven't been to scriptygoddess in a while, and I haven't seen this before.

Hmm.

I just tried and was able to get to the page.

I have another alternative to this...

There's an open source project called Bookmark4U it's a php/mysql based project that allows you to set up a bookmark holder that's web based.

I originally looked at this for bookmark portability without having to rely on anyone else for the service.

Also I wanted to be able to reflect last visited sites on my blog.

Since BM4U tracks your visits I just wrote a small php scriptlet that queries the last 10 visits to specific categories and general categories from my bookmarks...

You can see an example on  page. I also wrote a bit more about it on this entry.my blog

The end result works a lot like blog rolling but more selective. Also BM4U really is a great tool!  :D  ;)

In case anyone's been interested,

Blogrolling.com is now accepting new user signups.

Thanks,

I actually switched my blog links over to blogrolling but am still using the scriptygoddesses script for all my other links. I think I have the best of both worlds.  :)
