Blogroll and Reader

The next thing I thought this site needed was a blogroll, but I didn’t want to just make a list of people and sites I liked. I wanted a light-weight reader I could use myself.

I asked Claude to read my 14-year-old exported Google Reader OPML, check which sites were still active, and then check if there was a recent date somewhere on the page. I then picked through that list to get this randomized list:

/blogs

One cool thing about this page is if I command-click to open a link, that link will drop to the bottom of the list and turn grey, giving me an idea of which ones I’ve visited for that session.
