About Rollingpin

It’s an easy way to add a blogroll (list of weblogs you read) anywhere on your site, via blo.gs or BlogRolling. It uses XSL and CSS to format the output, so you can customise it easily. Oh, and it caches the output to save on bandwidth, only updating once an hour at most (it only checks when someone visits a page with the code on).

Download (extras).

About the stylesheets

The XSL and CSS stylesheets that come with Rollingpin are commented, and you can always ask me if you need help with them. If you want to change the date format, look for this line:

<xsl:variable name="date_formatted" select="concat($date_weekday_long, ' ', $date_hours, ':', $date_minutes)" />

concat is an XSL function that takes an arbitary nubmer of string arguments and, well, concatenates them. The following variables are available:

Please note that the date formatting only works with blo.gs feeds.
