I've been playing with a "blog roller" which lets the reader know at a glance when listed blogs are updated. I have set up an Anatolian Blogroll and have been experimenting with implementing it to help our Anatolian Shepherd Dog community grow.
The script for the one I chose allows me to add a little attention getting icon to the list of blogs
which will show up whenever blogs on the listing have been updated within the past two days. A few blogging engines may not activate the icon properly but for the most part it works great. It's got some familiar (to me) faces on it, three of my dogs (Zor, Ruya & Boone) and Shaman's Ten Bears, who is the familar mascot for our
Anatolian Ring as well.
If all the servers are working right, you'll see the icon in action anywhere someone is using the Anatolian Blogroll code. It can be inserted into sidebars, regular webpages, examples are in my sidebar and
page. The code involves javascript so I couldn't put it on a blog posting itself, although I'm attempting to embed it as an object here. You'd be able to see it in Firefox browser, and it works just fine in a sidebar or regular web page. My current sidebar uses a version of this blogroll in a transparent iframe.
Blogrolling Code for Anatolian Shepherd Dog Blogroll
Copy the code (Ctrl+C) and paste it (Ctrl+V) into your Blogger sidebar or webpage.If other members of the Anatolian Shepherd Dog community have a blog that at least occasionally features Anatolian related postings, let me know, and I'll add you to the blogroll. A comment on my blog with a link to your blog is perfect as other visitors can see your comment and link as well. I can then visit and see your blog at work.
