I haven't really gotten around to making that blogroll I was promising. But, for the hell of it, I tried cleaning up an OPML export from my aggregator to remove my private feeds and for-pay feeds—which, incidentally and unfortunately were some of my most interesting feeds.

But, that said, here's my feedroll. It's the result of some more URL-line magic:

\n\n

If I were less lazy, I'd've included some unobtrusive JavaScript to give this thing expand/collapse handles. And, I'd also like to work on making it less of a cluttered and raw mess. So, it's not quite yet what I'd like to share as a proper blogroll.

\n

But, for what it's worth, view source on that feedroll. I came up with a tentative \"hBlogroll\" microformat for it, based on XOXO and some OPML semantics. I haven't written the code for it yet, but I imagine that this should be pretty easily parsed.
