Last year we moved our blogroll to the bottom of the site to free up space in the sidebar. Now it is gone altogether. This has been a long time in coming. Since converting to Google Reader, I haven't used the blogroll to stay up to date, and maintaining a current blogroll was becoming increasingly burdensome as I add and delete blogs from Reader.
One of the effects of using Reader is that I can follow more blogs. (36 at the moment, though that is subject to change the instant find an interesting new blog.) When I find something really great on one of those blogs, I want to share it. Rather than posting a "look this is cool" link on the main blog, I have added a new feature to our sidebar called "Random Walk," which is simply a collection of links that we find interesting. And not just to blogs, but to anything linkable. This feature is a widget from del.icio.us (called Linkroll), and it is as simple to install as you can imagine. If you have a Typepad blog, check it out.

While it is far from perfect, Bloglines allows you to export your blogroll to your website. Two birds with one stone. And it is highly customizable.
I believe other aggregators also offer similar functionality.
