Since I can’t get to another machine at the moment (at least to test this), would someone else viewing this tell me if the blogroll stuff in the sidebar (“***Blogs, et al.”) has any of the cute little graphic buttons normally associated with it, between that title and the Blogrolling.com button?
I’m seeing just the text prepends, some curly brackets I added in, and one broken image at the top. But Blogrolling tech support says it’s all hunky-dory.

Dave,
I get the same weirdness you do on the Blogs, et. al section.
And I LOVE your blog.
Happy
Ditto. No pretty link graphics show up from my machine on Opera 7.2. *Sigh*.
Thanks. I’ve passed the word to Jason (the God of Blogrolling).
They seem to be there now. (They weren’t earlier… but I’ve moved from IE at work to Safari at home, which might also be responsible.)
Really? Because I’m still not getting anything here.
Still nothing
It’s also affecting Brian Peace’s Random Ravings blog, too. Basically seems to be zorching any blogroll that uses IMG commands for the title.
Or, rather, is stripping out the IMG commands in the Title.
theeeerrrreeee baaack!
For me, too! Huzzah!
I see everything (at about 9:20 eastern).
Jason notes on the Blogrolling.com page:
Updated the display code so there are no entities in the output for single or double quotes. This will fix problems for people using old style image tags. Tip: Gold members can use auto image translation. All you do is add a url and Blogrolling automatically generates the image tag for you. Great for lists of buttons or face/identity rolls.
Heh. I think that means me.
I note, though, that the auto image translation falls short in two ways.
First, you don’t get an automatic test of the image within Blogrolling. You have to reload your page to see if the image is correct.
Second, it doesn’t let you specify width/height parms, which makes the page load more slowly.
Both are relatively trivial, though, and I’m sure Jason would rather see people using the auto-image stuff than tell yet another yahoo about using single, not double, quotes in the IMG statements.
Bear’s Cave doesn’t appear to be updating. As of 1:14 PM MDT blogroll shows the last update as 7:50 AM MDT, but he has a 10:50 AM MDT post up. Then again THIS is not my forte.
Well, that gets into the flakiness of the pinging systems out there. I know from my own experience that pinging weblogs.com, which is what most folks do, is a hit-or-miss operation. Pinging blogrolls.com works a lot better in terms of success, but not everyone does that.
The blogrolling.com ping, is http://rpc.blogrolling.com/pinger/, by the by.
