MAKING FAMILY LIFE A LITTLE EASIER (UPDATED 7-30-05)
The Bad Example Family is getting crazy-big, so I took the liberty of going to Blogrolling.com and creating a Bad Example Family blogroll, so now you can just copy & paste one line of javascript and 'roll the whole mess.
You can see it in my right sidebar, below the hard-coded Family list.
I could use some feedback on two areas in particular:
First, I have it set with a marker to indicate blogs that have been updated in the last 2 hours. Figure you'd want to know who has fresh content. But that might be simply annoying, instead.
Then I have the links listed in the order of blog title length. Mostly to have the "The Complete Annotated and Illustrated Bad Example Family Tree" post at the bottom. I could also do it randomly or alphabetically, or most recently updated first, instead.
Anyway, let me know what you think.
Meanwhile, the code for displaying the Family 'roll is:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://rpc.blogrolling.com/display.php?r=f6ff21d761fa222a93159978f2d68eb6"></script>
UPDATE: 7-30-05: The code is too long to display properly in this post - the last bit gets cut off. It should contain all of the following, except put it all on one line in your template:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://rpc.blogrolling.com/display.php?
r=f6ff21d761fa222a93159978f2d68eb6"></script>
Also, let me know if I missed anyone.

Excerpt: Well, at last I got around to putting up the Bad Example Family blogroll on my sidebar. Of course that would never have even happened if Harvey hadn't done all the hard work for me. I'm so lazy......

Well, it seems to have worked for me. And yeah, I was having a hard time finding time to update the blogroll with so many new family members... I haven't even gotten around to see them all yet... *sigh* Rotten cold... takes all the joy out of blog reading, not to mention posting.
Hey, I tried it on my blog, it seems to work just fine. Does this mean I get to change my blog name weekley now? I know how much you love that.
Contagion - you can change it HOURLY for all *I* care. Blogrolling is like 30 seconds to make a change.
Tammi would kill ya, though. She's STILL trying to figure out how to draw the family tree :-)
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
Works like a charm, thanks Harvey!
OK!
I've finally got the family blogroll up at There's One, Only!

There seems to be some problem with the script this morning. It's not showing up on anyone's site.
Yeah... Blogrolling aka Bugrolling.
It's been known to hang from time to time. It usually clears up fairly soon, though.
