The tuit fairy (1) has arrived and I have wasted spent a few hours redesigning the layout of the blog and updating all the plugins, so that I am now bang up to date across the board. Wonder how long that will last.

In the process, I seem to have killed the blogroll. This may not be a bad thing – many of the entries were to colleagues who have shuffled off this mortal blogosphere.

But there are some 114 115 blogs I read regularly according to my Google Reader OPML and it would be nice to reflect this in the gaping void in column three over there –>

Apart from anything else, it’s part of the community of bloggers to have links to the people you read.

Nothing I have tried has quite worked. I don’t want to enter the full 115 into the WordPress links manager. Various weird things have happened when I have tried to use Google Reader’s “clip” function, including disabling my entire website, apparently for me only. Dataflame’s live customer service people managed to fix it, but I am not entirely sure what went wrong.

Bah. Any good OPML widgets out there?

I have also finally succumbed to the near ubiquitous Lib Dem Buttons. Not least since I was asked to design one recently!

(1) tuit fairy, brings the round tuit. As I will do that when I get a round tuit.  Pronounced too-it not tweet. Got there yet?
