Blogrolling.com supports OPML

Jason DeFillippo's Blogrolling.com now supports OPML. If you use Blogrolling.com for your blogroll, you can use Radio's radio.macros.blogroll macro, or Manila's opmlBlogroll macro to add the blogroll to your site. Optional parameters for these macros let you control the appearance of links to recently updated sites.

Here's a How To:

1) Go to Blogrolling.com and create a new account.

2) Once your account is created, and you've logged in, click the Create a Blogroll link, to create your blogroll.

3) The blogroll will appear on the right side of the Blogrolling.com members page -- click the add links link and add links to the sites you want in your blogroll.

4) After you're done adding links, click the get code link, scroll down to the OPML section, and copy the URL to your blogroll's OPML. It will look something like this:

http://rpc.blogrolling.com/opml.php?r=5c92b5c9932c8c25d28a0aa059f60d33

5) Add the blogroll macro to your template.

Radio users edit your home page template, and add the following macro where you want your blogroll to appear, replacing the URL with your blogroll's OPML url from step 4:

<%radio.macros.blogroll ("http://rpc.blogrolling.com/opml.php?r=5c92b5c9932c8c25d28a0aa059f60d33", recentlyUpdatedLinkPrefix:"<b>", recentlyUpdatedLinkSuffix:"</b>")%>

Manila users add the following macro to your template where you want your blogroll to appear, replacing the URL with your blogroll's OPML url from step 4:

{opmlBlogroll ("http://rpc.blogrolling.com/opml.php?r=5c92b5c9932c8c25d28a0aa059f60d33", recentlyUpdatedLinkPrefix:"<b>", recentlyUpdatedLinkSuffix:"</b>")}

The recentlyUpdateLinkPrefix and recentlyUpdatedLinkSuffix parameters in the above macros will make links to recently updated sites appear in bold. You can specify different values to adjust the link appearance to your taste.

Here's an example of what it will look like:
