Hello,
First off, I'm not exactly sure if this is where i should post my question, so, if not, i apologize in advance.
I'm a Vietnamese blogger, and is trying to raise the visibility of the wordpress (.com) platform in the Vietnamese online community. Most of us have been using yahoo360 (which is a piece of crap, more or less), blogger, and opera. WP is much more superior (in my opinion) with regard to the design, and the whole no-ad thingy. However, my friends have been complaining that WP is not exactly community friendly. By that, i mean we do not have a way to add "friends" like yahoo360 or opera do. For example:
http://my.opera.com/duyenlinh88/links/
http://360.yahoo.com/lavy63
(note: this isn't a ploy to increase page views btw, as these are not even mine)
I do know that blogroll kinda mimic that, but then if i put a blogroll, it would be extremely long, an eyesore at the side of my blog page. What I'd like to have is an automated way of adding friend lists, and the possibility of categorizing those. It can be an official method from WP (which I highly doubt Mark and the guys will do anytime soon), a workaround method in WP, or even using a outside service (so that we can put that link in our blogroll instead). Do you have any suggestion to help me on this ?
Thanks for reading. I hope that I didn't confuse you too much.
