2.Go to a page on your site that contains your blogroll and click on each link in your blogroll and copy down or bookmark the links you end up on.
Sorry, there is no “export” option in BlogRolling.
Clean Your Code

Thanks for your support and patronage these many years! Happy blogging!
Note: 1389AD has already migrated 1389 Blog‘s blogrolls from BlogRolling.com to the built-in WordPress widgets. That involved manually copying and pasting roughly a thousand links. To my knowledge, at this time there is no available WordPress script plugin that would substitute for BlogRolling. It would be convenient to have an automatic mechanism to let other people display copies of one’s own blogrolls, but that feature apparently does not exist at this time.
