BlogRolling hiccups
I've noticed that a significant portion of the blog links I registered in my BlogRolling experiment are not showing up.
The factor that distinguishes the blogs that are not playing nice is the software they use.

WordPress and Movable Type are not obscure, and BlogRolling should, in a theoretical sense, record and note updates to these blogs. Some, maybe all, have RSS feeds, so there's no reason BlogRolling should skip them. I don't think BlogRolling should, in the sense of is trying but failing to, be recording updates to these blogs. I suspect the BlogRolling is merely ignoring them. The help forums at BlogRolling are a mess of spam and don't seem active, and I'm left to guess.
Nevertheless, the service is still handy and time-saving, so I'll continue to use it. Also, I love those little flags.

Wow... how many times did you say "BlogRolling"?
lol
That's why I use the BlogRolling/Rojo combo. What BlogRolling misses Rojo seems to pick up and vice-versa.
Sucks that no one service can get it ALL right, but *shrug* it's free, so I guess it'll have to do. ;)
6 times, by my count. Reminds me of the word "ass" in a script I once read.
I only just saw this post; I'm using WordPress too.
