Got around to adding a proper, old-school blogroll onto my site. Hadn't realised that WordPress had the functionality to do it and fetch the latest posts via RSS built-in. Wasted so much time looking for a decent plugin to do this.

Nice. And thank you for including my blog.
I must have a look at whether I can do something similar, with the inclusion of latest posts, on an otherwise static-html site.

I've followed most of those sites on blogger.com's reader for a while but it's a horrible interface and I keep forgetting they're there, whereas I'm forever tinkering or writing on my site so it's easier for me to keep up with others who write regularly too.

I suspect you will be out of luck on a static site and it's likely not worth the effort of a workaround without defeating the purpose of a static site in the first place.

this way of pulling an RSS feed into an embed looks like it might work...

It'd mean relying on a (apparently free) 3rd party service, but beggars can't be choosers, I guess.

Oh, btw... are you familiar with The Barefoot Backpacker's travel blog?
They are a former Birmingham based Twitter bod that I met through mutual online friends.

I used to follow the account on Twitter from my travel account (I used to follow a lot of accounts on Twitter, of course) but didn't make a note of them all when I decided to delete the account.
