Since I changed over from Blogmatrix Jaeger to Google Reader as my RSS reader, the one feature I’ve really missed is the ability to generate a blogroll in the sidebar. Google Reader allows an OPML export (which means you can share RSS feed lists with other readers), but nothing that will generate HTML for the page.<\/p>\n
Enter a new “20% time<\/a>” feature for Google Reader that lets you tag categories to create a blogroll<\/a>. Yay!<\/p>\n Well …<\/p>\n The Javascript generated has no opportunity to apply formatting (through CSS or something). The result is that it takes up a huge <\/em>amount of real estate. To blogroll everything that’s there in my current blogroll would require scrolling down to the bottom of the existing front page, which would be kind of goofy.<\/p>\n What I think I may do is figure out what people actually want to go to, and then add those links to their own category. (Google Reader lets you add a feed to multiple feeds). The result will be trimmed down (literally and figuratively). Though … dagnabbit, it autoalphabetizes everything, which means that everything I’d select would be all higgledy-piggledy, unless I do some other groupings.<\/p>\n Hrm.<\/p>\n Let me ponder this …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Since I changed over from Blogmatrix Jaeger to Google Reader as my RSS reader, the one feature I’ve really missed is the ability to generate a blogroll in the sidebar. …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogging"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":10270,"url":"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/2007\/03\/01\/google_reader.html","url_meta":{"origin":12118,"position":0},"title":"Google Reader","author":"***Dave","date":"Thu 1-Mar-07 9:28am","format":false,"excerpt":"About a month or so back, I shifted over from my beloved Blogmatrix Jaeger RSS reader to Google Reader.
