So I decided I could bloody well spare an evening to finally get something done I'd been meaning to for about half a year.

The blogroll module for Drupal is something I'd wanted for a while. It was especially needed at the Progressive Blogger Alliance, which is now (in a great part due to my procrastination) a sad mud village filled with spam and people asking to be put on the horribly outdated blogroll.

A few weeks ago, I said I would work on a Blogroll module for Drupal. This module was supposed to display a list of sites defined by each user in their profile, and be able to export this via JavaScript as well.

The last few weeks over at The Progressive Blogger Alliance have been filled with people asking to be put on the Blogroll. The Blogroll - actually one of the first efforts that the PBA grew from, before the network even used a central node based on Drupal software - was discontinued a while back. A mixture of administrative trouble, technical glitches and a rumor that the Google bot may interpret Blogrolls as link farms (and punish the sites' rankings).
