A Better Blogroll If you like highlighting other bloggers on your site via a blogroll, you will probably find that as you add more and more to them, it becomes a huuge list. Try the Better Blogroll plugin. Much cleaner than a huge unwieldy list. Good list though.thanks for introducing me to some new ideas.
