scriptygoddess,
i'm trying to get my bloglines.com blogroll to bold the category heading in my blog and I thought you could help.
http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating
I can't seem to figure out why the stylesheet to make the blogroll categories BOLD and subfolders NOT BOLD isn't taking effect. I'm using bloglines.com's Javascript code inserted into my default template just above Links.
i.e.

i know .css very minimally, so i'm sure it's something simple. The entire blogroll (Javascript) is enclosed with a tag that has a class='blogrollmain' attribute. In addition, the folders have tags with a class='blogrollfolder' attribute.

Knowing that, below are the 2 styles that I added to styles-site.css in MovableType 2.661. However it didn't seem to apply the style. Suggestions?

2 styles added:
.blogrollmain ( font-family:palatino, georgia, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size:small; color: #666; border-bottom:1px solid #999; margin-top:20px; font-weight:bold; background:#FFF; }

.blogrollfolder ( font-family:palatino, georgia, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size:small; color: #666; border-bottom:1px solid #999; margin-top:20px; font-weight:normal; background:#FFF; }

Thanks.
p.s. used lots of your other tips. Great site! I'll have to trackback to some of them.
p.s.s. I'd use your php code for blogroll, but running MT on Win2K IIS with ActivePerl.

Jason at Blogrolling.com let me in on this little tip:

If you put &showall=1 at the end of your "$url =" string the entire blogroll will be returned. This is handy if you are using the How many links to display option for your blogroll. That feature is only available to Blogrolling Gold members.

Still waiting to hear back if there as an override parameter for the Sorting your links preference so you could display the blogroll table alphabetically for blogrolls not currently being sorted that way (i.e. displayed normally in priority, random, or update order). I'll post an update on this when I get one.

Aha, I must have missed that quote when I copied and pasted. Thanks.

I'm sure the alphabetizing can be done. I'll see if I can make it in the next few days or so.

Since I'm not using the blogroll on the main page in alphabetical order, yes I'd like to sort the incoming rows alphabetically within the script.

The other issue is that Blogrolling only sends you the display maximum (if you use that option) not the whole list, so I've taken that up with them. Nothing your script can do about that…

BTW – the
echo ";
line is missing a quote before the <
