The Blogroll is back. Not sure why it got confused but after removing it, copying the code into a test.php which worked fine and then copying the code back into the MT template, it’s all worked fine again.
It’s great as there are a couple of blogspot blogs that don’t seem to have an RSS feed, but I can get notification that they have been updated via this mechanism – it also enables Kristen to read the blogs without an rss reader too.
