If you maintain a weblog with a list of recommended blogs (the term coming into favor seems to be a ‘blogroll’), you might want to consider maintaining that list with the Blogrolling Link manager instead of handcoding it into your template. When I surf to a blog I want to add to my sidebar, I can now do so with a single click, after setting up a ”Blogroll this!” link to my browser toolbar. And the will tell readers which sites have been updated recently (within the last two hours). If a weblog on my list is pinging weblogs.com, a mouseover on the link should pop up the time of the last update.

By the way, if you’re linking to me, I would appreciate it if you would use “http://gelwan.com/followme.html” as the URL. There are so many other ways out there of reaching FmH that it is very hard for me to aggregate data about who is linking to me. In the Touchgraph of links to FmH (see just below), for example, there are actually several distinct nodes for FmH using different URLs.
