New, Improved Blogroll

I only mention the blogroll because it helps me to keep track of sites that I find to be extremely helpful when I am researching home improvement and DIY, not to mention bungalows and vintage finds.

The old blogroll had gotten out of control, so with the help of the Ask Metafilter community, Aaron and Brooklyn Rowhouse, I replaced it with this nifty expandable and categorized one.  (Yes, the font size is tiny but some of these site names are LONG!  I had to fit them in the column.)

The new one is over there, to the right.

I haven't finished adding back all of the blogs from the old blogroll, and now houseblogs.net takes care of the houseblogs that I used to track, but I'm hoping to have the new blogroll finished by the first of the year.

If you click on Open All, all of the categories will open.  Or, you can open one category at a time by clicking the plus sign next to the name of the category you'd like to peruse. 

I don't want to ever give the impression that I always know what I'm doing.  Much of the time I have NO IDEA what I am doing.  Thankfully, there are many excellent resources out there for research, advice, amusement and inspiration. It takes a lot of content to fill in the gaps in my knowledge, and I can recommend these sites if you are looking for new ideas.

I first saw the expanding blogroll on Bungalow Addicts houseblog (now she writes on Our Charmed Life) so I thank her for the idea. 

The code for this type of blogroll can be found here and here.  Much fun if you want to spice up your blog.

Now I'm off to download more photos from my camera so I can finish some house stories...
