Wanna see my up-to-the-minute blogroll?  I’ve placed a link to it in the sidebar… maybe at some point I’ll figure out a nice-looking way to display it inline, like maybe in a little scrolling box or some such.

I’m very addicted to Bloglines now, as I think I’ve mentioned before.  I hope it doesn’t turn into a paid service, but if it does I’m coughing up the dough!

I’m still carrying a torch for NetNewsWire though.  You can’t EDIT your blog in Bloglines, for one thing.  Not that I could do that with my ExpressionEngine blog anyway, ‘cuz it doesn’t support external editors quite yet.  I’ve read up on the issue and it seems pretty complicated, since EE isn’t just a blogging tool.  A normal weblog has the title field, the date, summary, body, extended entry, and blah blah blah… but with EE you can create whatever fields you want, for all sorts of data.  The weblog thing you’re looking at now is just one of the modules that comes preinstalled, but you could really display any kind of data you want.  It could be for an image gallery, a video jukebox, an employee database or whatever-the-fuck.  So, it’s not impossible but they’d have to come up with their own API so people can edit all those wacky fields they’re creating.  Shit, we’re lucky we can even do this, much less do it from outside the EE control panel!
