I was recently asked about my blogroll script which updates automatically. So this post is about that.
First off, I signed up at Blo.gs and started adding people to my favorites list. When you are done doing that, go into your settings and make it so that your favorites can be shared. Once that has been done, in the sidebar you’ll see a link named Shared, go there. Click on the favorites.xml file and take note of the number that is in the url. Should be something like http://blo.gs/12345/favorites.xml.
If you want, you can save this file to your computer and then upload it to your blog. It isn’t required but you may need to so you can chmod the favorites.xml file to atleast 666.
Next, change this script (you can also find it below, under Read More) so that it uses the number that I mentioned before. Upload it to the root directory of your blog. I’d name it blogroll.php.
Once it has been uploaded, put the following code on your site where ever you want your blogroll to be displayed.
[php]< ?php
include('blogroll.php');
?>[/php]
Now you will have a blogroll on your site that will update every hour. Be sure to edit it so that it is styled to match your site.

You’ll notice that this site has a new layout as well as some new things on it. I’ll be updating it over the next couple of days.
Instead of making my own layout, I decided to go with one that was already made. I hope everyone likes it. I need to see if my blogroll is going to update on its own … still lots of testing to do.

Last week I had a family reunion with my Mom’s side of the family. Monday thur Thursday we went camping at a place called Louis Lake (My uncle owns the cabins there). I had a blast fishing, hiking, canoeing, pushing trees over, and chilling with the relatives.
I’ve never heard “Your mom goes to college” so many times in my life. I now think “Your mom blah blah blah” just about after everything any one says. I’m going crazy!
On Friday, all of the cousins went to Lagoon. Its not the greatest amusment park but it is the only one for many miles. I’ll probably be bouncing back later this month.
Saturday morning we had a breakfast with even more family (Grandma’s brothers, sisters, their kids, and their kids). Later that night we went to a demolition derby! Cars smashing other cars, it can’t get any better than that!
Enough of the boring stuff. Maybe later I’ll have more information on what is happening with EasyMOD. I’m done blogging at this moment and there isn’t a whole lot to say about EasyMOD anyways.
I forgot to mention, we are finishing our basement which is where my room was. To do this, we had to move most of what was down there out so currently I am roomless. I move my bed around in the basement where it isn’t being worked on or find other places to sleep. That has been an adventure. It will be nice to have it done though.
