Sorted Blog Roll
I've been thinking about redesigning my blog. I like what it looks like now, but I think I could use a fresh coat of paint. I also want to add/update some of my links and sections. One thing I want to do is add a blog roll. I could simply make a section and put in a list of blogs, but I want it to be more functional than that. For example, I want to have a blog roll for all the visio dei bloggers, but I don't want the order to be static. I want to have the list sorted based on the most recent post. So, the person that has posted most recently will be listed first and so on.
Has anyone ever heard of anything like that? If not, would any of my my friends, fluent in Javascript, like to take that on as a project. I have an idea of how that might work, but I just don't have the time to play with it right now. Any takers?

Maybe an rss feed kinda thing, with limited info. Only name and link fields? I have no idea what I am talking about, it is still before 8am.
The data is already there. I don't need something to create the data. I just need a script to grab each feed, check the datetime stamp on the most recent post, and then, create a list of links. It may even be nice to weed out those blogs that have not been updated in the last six months from the list.
I know that they make scripts to rotate your blogroll... I bet someone has tweaked it to give the functionality you're talking about.
Have a look at www.ragamuffinsoul.com
You might want to ask him how he does his 'rotating' blogroll.
He's the king of blogging :0)
