Mark is doing some very interesting social network scripting with a script that recursively follows and compiles bloggers’ blogrolls. It occurred to me, in the context of the RSS autodiscovery flurry earlier this week, to give such scripts a leg-up. Why not use a(nother) HTML <link/> tag to point to a blogroll?

So, alongside the <link/> tag I mentioned yesterday, I’ve added a further <link/> tag thus:

<link rel="feeds" type="text/xml"
  title="XML" href="http://www.pipetree.com/~dj/rss.rss" />

It points to the RSS file of RSS feeds I talked about yesterday, and point to with the "meta" link in the My Feeds list on the right.

This sort of thing should make scripts like Mark’s blogrollfinder.py a lot simpler, if we can somehow standardise this too.
