I've been remiss w.r.t. the blogging scene for some time now, partly due to personal reasons and partly due to the demise of my blogrolling links. I'm very lazy without it, because I've accumulated quite a bunch of valuable blogger friends whose posts I like reading. Don't know how many of you utilize the blogrolling service (http://www.blogrolling.com), but I'm sure those of you that do, have noticed that it hasn't been working for a couple of months now.
So, I dug back into my programming background (I swore to myself I would never code another line again after college...but some promises are made to be broken, I guess) and came up with blogLinx, a stripped down version of the essential services provided by www.blogrolling.com.
At the moment, if you register at blogLinx (http://bloglinx.bravehost.com/), you can add up to 50 blog links to your own link list. The service is very self-explanatory.
And here's the best part: you can import your links from blogrolling.com! All it takes is pasting the url link that blogrolling provided you. For example, my blogrolling url is: http://rpc.blogrolling.com/display.php?r=f3f3ff5f3a8ffec015eae0a49a2e763e.
Of course, keep in mind the maximum number of links you can add to blogLinx - 50.
Currently, blogLinx is free. I intend to keep it that way.
Instructions for accessing your link list from your blog site are provided to you once you register and log in to blogLinx.
So, join me at http://bloglinx.bravehost.com. And feel free to email me with any comments/questions! Appreciate your time and help.
Enjoy connecting.

1) I made this stylesheet for the BlogLinx blogroll on my blog:
.blogrollmain {
margin:0;
margin-left:-15px;
padding:0 0 .25em 15px;
text-indent:0px;
line-height:1.75;
}
And I applied as follows:
<h2 class="sidebar-title">Screenwriting Blogs</h2>
<ul class="blogrollmain">
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://bloglinx.bravehost.com/display.php?emailadd=nyveen@gmail.com'></script>
</ul>
It looks good, except that the final "blogLinx...the connected life" line is now spaced too much. Any ideas?
2) How does BlogLinx sort the blogroll? Can there be a way to customize it?
3) How about a way for us to replace the asterisks with our own symbol. For example, on Bloggrolling, I used a tiny image.

Thanks for your input. Will get back to you on the bloglinx line today or tomorrow.
1) We will be adding sorting functionality to the blogLinx pretty soon and make it customizable.
2) We will also be adding functionality to change the asterisk this weekend.
Thanks for taking the time to make blogLinx a better product!
