Fancy New Random Blogroll
I want to have a blogroll on my homepage… but I don’t like having a long blogroll on my homepage. Not for search engine reasons, but for pretty blog reasons. But today… attention s’il vous plaît… I have a fancy new random blogroll that allows me to combine sleek home page design with blogroll home page fun! :)

Awesome, I like it! Did you code it yourself?

Haha! Funny! Someday I am sure, but as it is I don’t have those skills.
I suppose I should have linked to the plugin… I was too excited when I posted this because I like my new plugin.
I got it here:

Awesome, well it still looks good. I like sidebars that aren’t too cluttered, though you couldn’t tell on my site I guess. :P

Do you use WordPress? The inbuilt blogroll code allows you to set it to random or, as I do, the 13 most recently updated blogs. No plugin required…

My theme does not have that built in. But this works nicely just the same. I get some randomly generate blogs for my blogroll, and they can be featured on my home page now!

Danielle, just FYI, it doesn’t have to be built in: you can just add it (one line of code). One of the neat things about WP is how much you can customize it. But it looks like you have found a good workaround in any case. :)

Yeah, I am still getting to know Wordpress, but this works well enough and I am pleased as punch. I know that the people in my blogroll will prefer this as well as it gives people front page traffic exposure. And I felt bad about having a secondary link page.

Hehe…I’ve been doing my blogroll as random links for a while. It’s definitely a nice way to minimize clutter =)
What I do is just put a line at the bottom of the blogroll that says “View all links” and when you click that it takes you to a separate page with the entire list of links in my blogroll.
