Blogroll separated

My blogroll grew a bit lately and started to slow things down. I’ve decided to move it to a separate page – Blogroll. I’ll keep only a handful of links on the right tab. In case you want to see more, there is always a link to it on the sidebar, as well as in the navigation bar.

If you are wondering how I integrated the blogroll like this into WordPress, here’s how I did it:

1. Create a separate page in WordPress admin.
2. Update .htaccess file to properly handle permalinks for the new page.
3. Install and activate WordPress PHP Exec plugin
4. Export BlogLines profile via PHP Exec plugin, like so:

   <phpcode>
   <?php
      include ('http://rpc.bloglines.com/blogroll?html=1&id=leonid');
   ?>
   </phpcode>
   

Note: change ‘leonid’ in the above URL to your BlogLines username.
