Testing...

The sidebar on the left is now generated from an OPML file:

The script then generates this piece of javascript code:

weblogSidebar={
  'What I read':[
    {style:'button2', content:'Jake's Brainpan',
      gonew:'http://jake.editthispage.com/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'Joel on Software',
      gonew:'http://joel.editthispage.com/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'Lambda the Ultimate',
      gonew:'http://lambda.weblogs.com/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'markpasc_blog',
      gonew:'http://markpasc.org/blog/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'owrede_log',
      gonew:'http://owrede.khm.de/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'Scripting News',
      gonew:'http://www.scripting.com/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'XMLHack',
      gonew:'http://www.xmlhack.com/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'<b>All sources</b>',
      gonew:'http://w3future.com/html/weblogsources.html'}
  ]
  ,'Friends/Family':[
    {style:'button2', content:'Joeri',
      gonew:'http://joeri.mulder.com/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'Marco',
      gonew:'http://www.maggerydoo.net/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'Jelle',
      gonew:'http://uitdeschaduw.blogspot.com/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'Q42',
      gonew:'http://www.q42.nl/'}
  ]
};

The template contains a script that creates the buttons from the data. I named the opmlfile #sidebar.opml. The # means that files in subdirectories can have their own sidebar links, but they default to the one from the parent directory.
