Blogroll Removed
Thursday, December 23, 2004
Update: do me a huge favor and drop me a line if anyone's seeing security warnings in IE/Win that my site's trying to install a cookie. I think del.icio.us might still be triggering this.
I experimented this week with using the blogroll feature in my Bloglines account to automatically put a giant list of my frequently visited sites in the sidebar. I had a really good time playing with it actually - it was an easy way to share my interests and also yet another excuse to direct more friends to my blog. Unfortunately, I had to yank it just now because apparently it's giving some IE/Win visitors a security warning that my site is trying to install a cookie. I don't see it on my machine but then again, the blogroll itself doesn't appear either when I crank up the security settings on IE to medium/high or high. The browsers I normally use - Safari, Firefox, old copy of Mozilla - don't have any problems with it at all. Perhaps I should use some conditional comments to weed out IE visitors and give the blogroll to everyone else? What do you think - information overload, useful resource, you're still seeing the error with the del.icio.us javascript too - drop me a line and let me know. I'm mulling this over and I don't want to put a blogroll just because convention dictates it.
