Stupid script

Stupid blogrolling. I wonder how long this page was down? Not the whole time I was asleep, I hope…?

Anyway, when blogrolling.com gets its act together, I’ll reinsert the script, and the sidelinks will reappear.

    The problems began around 4:00 EST, it’s my first experience with a Blogrolling outage so I too had to disable it. Keep up the great work, I have a rant or two of yours bookmarked for future reading. :o)

    Thanks, Aaron. That’s 6-7 hours. Not happy about that, I must say…

    This is why I’m not using blogrolling. Andrea complained of an outage when she first set up to use it, and that kept me away.

    Damned Internet. It’ll never work!

    I don’t think much of blogrolling to begin with. I know it makes some things easier, but the drawbacks suck:

    A. It’s javascript, so a lot of search engine spiders can’t follow the links. One of the reasons bloggers link so much to each other is to enhance their link popularity, which JS defeats.

    B. About 11% of users disable JS (see http://thecounter.com/stats/2002/July/javas.php). I’m one of them. I’ve never been able to see any of these links, just blank space.

    C. It slows things down. The browser needs to do another DNS lookup, server negotiation, etc. And that’s when their server is actually up.

    There’s got to be a better way.
