Add a link script.

"This script will create and maintain a list of links (similar to, although admitedly not as cool as, blogroller). The nice thing about this is that it lives on your server. you can still customize the display. you can chose to display a randomly selected few from the list. you can still use a bookmarklet to add links (IE only)And, as opposed to blogroller, even if the user has javascript disabled, the list will still display. (Please note that this is written in PHP and thus requires that you can run PHP on your server)

Download it here. The instructions are VERY easy (see the readme) - there's only one file you have to edit." [scriptygoddess.com]

Ditto, Bride of Ditto, and Son of Ditto

Less Email == Good.
"Yahoo groups in your news aggregator. Somehow I had totally missed this feature of Yahoo Groups. In the case that somebody else might have missed it too, if you submit: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Group_name/messages?rss=1 to your aggregator, you will get all posts submitted to that group in your favourite news reader. [Paolo Valdemarin: Paolo's Weblog]

Cool, I subscribed to klog and will probably subscribe to a few others as I figure out which email lists I'm on use Yahoo." [Adam Wendt's Agnostic Audiophile Smorgasborg]

It's too bad the flashing ads and outages are forcing so many lists off of Yahoo Groups, because this is a great idea. If we were to start using Mailman at SLS, is there a way to set this up so that messages sent to a list can go to an aggregator as well?

Radio Documentation!

"Russ Lipton's RadioDocs, on-line, ready for UserLand." [Scripting News]

Yay! Userland did the sensible thing and incorporated Russ' Radio docs into the Radio site! I'm assuming he's getting paid for this and that he'll be adding more to the archive. Kudos to Userland for recognizing the need and the solution! Keep up the great work, Russ!

[Two suggestions: a table of contents as a front page or at the top, and dates of last revision next to all of the links.]
