Blog Stuff: BlogRoll SideBar Your Way

Roll your BlogRoll like you roll your blog.

After I wrote the BlogRoll Multi-Browser SideBar Script to put your Blogrolling.com BlogRoll into the sidebar of IE, Netscape, Mozilla, and Opera, and to create popups for all other JavaScript-enabled browsers, Jane (Tangled Up In Blue...) pointed out that the BlogRoll that appears is the standard blue on white BlogRoll, without much room for customization (unlike the BlogRoll you include in a static page).

original Blog Roll style versus a custom style

Which Blog Roll would you prefer: The default (left), or a style that matches your site (right)?

The lack of customization is because BlogRolling.com actually generates the page on which your BlogRoll sidebar appears. That's totally independent of my BlogRoll Multi-Browser SideBar Script. If you embed the Blogroll in a static, normal page, then you can use CSS with the div.blogrollmain, blogrollmain a, and blogrollmain a:hover class names Jason built into the code. Using a sidebar, though, you're actually calling a page that Blogrolling.com generates on the fly.

Here's how to turn your entire BlogRoll sidebar or popup, into an extension of your site... With your site's style, colors, background image, formatting, everything!
