I recently wrote a post exploring the power and potential of
RSS and the revival of the blogroll. One critique I received was that a ‘blogroll’ is meant to be the Top of the Pops. Maybe I am unwilling to get off the fence or am simply unable to wittle my list down. I like how
Chris Aldrich breaks down his list into various categories and think that is something I will get to at some stage. However, in the interim, somebody asked me for a list of educational leadership blogs. Here then is a
shorter list that will also work in the free version of Feedly. Although I would encourage uploading to your blog and
subscribing with Inoreader. If you are using
Global2, then import the OPML file using the Import sub-menu (Tools > Import). A
link to the OPML can then be accessed by adding โ/wp-links-opml.phpโ to the end of the URL. See for example:
https://readwriterespond.com/wp-links-opml.php
NOTE: If you already use the links function to show a reduced blogroll, then you may wish to categorise them and only show a particular category in the links widget.
I’ve spent a few hours, usually while watching television, slowly but surely updating my OPML list in the past weeks/months. It’s been a bit tedious, but is slowly but surely coming into better shape over time. I don’t recommend trying to do it all at once…
The nice part is now that it’s nearly done (aside from occasional additions/deletions in the future) it will be much more portable.
I feel that I have a growing list of things to do to my site(s), I will get there eventually. At the moment it is functional, but I realise it could be much better.
