This is a cool plugin! Not only is the Social Blogroll plugin a great way to share some blog love between friends, but it is a great way to see when your favorite blogs have been updated! It is based off of your blogroll, so it is super easy to use. I love having all of my favorites at my fingertips!
Another thing I like is that because it is based off of your blogroll, you can separate your feeds into categories! I love this feature. It gives me the appearance of being organized.
It has different settings for how you would like your blogroll to show up in your sidebar. One option was a scrolling feed. That one gave me motion sickness in about two seconds. There were a few other options that allowed you to post how long ago the blog had been updated with a new post. What a great way to shame me into updating my blog regularly!

It is an easy install, just be sure to take not that some of the file permissions will need to be changed before you activate it, and then changed back when you finish. Another thing is to be sure that you are using a Google API and not a WordPress API. It will not pull the feeds if you do not have the right one.

Hi Jan,
I did a search for something like I saw on a blogspot blog. I liked the way you could see a recent post in addition to the blog name. Yours was great and was just what I needed, plus it was so simple to use! Thanks for the great plugin and for stopping by!
