This plugin’s excellent, and very easy to setup Crunchy.

I do need a plug in for WCW though…the member directory is too long and growing.

I am not sure how easy it would be to get the sidebars appearing last.
How important is it? Who knows? It is one of the factors believed to affect search engines - I have seen people do tests to determine whether more weighting is given to links appearing early on a page.

Maki that post of Jims is actually very similar to what I have discussed in my Speed Linking Slow Linking post a while ago. People writing speed linking posts effectively are creating poor quality links pages.

There isn’t a duplicate content penalty as such unless it is an extreme case, the search engines choose which pages are most relevant for a particular search result.
Thus is the pages are in the index, the links count. I think I need to do another post to explain my milk bottle analogy a little better.

I’ll check that link out, thanks Maki. Mail me the code if you want, and I’ll insert it into the bottom of the post.

I’ve fixed your typos RT, so now you just look like you’re talking to yourself
How do you do that scrollbox thingy then? And why? Want to contribute an article?

I thought about a different page and instead settled on wrapping the blogroll, among other widgets, in a scrollbox. It seems to work just fine, people are navigating it without complaint.
