I was recently asked to help configure the burgeoning Frugal Hacks blogroll into a scrollbox. I have a thorough tutorial about how to do that here, but for ease (since most Frugal Hackers are very busy moms), I thought I’d just post the whole code right here.
<div style="height:250px; overflow:auto;">
<p class="sideheader">Frugal Blogroll</p>
<a href="http://frugalhacks.com/?page_id=65"> **join here**</a>
<script src="http://rpc.blogrolling.com/display.php?r=ae7cadbf39b863c96fca9f4c21d0d51e" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> </script>
</div>
If you post that code into your sidebar, you will see this:
Now, the width of the scrollbox goes with the width of your sidebar. It will not be as wide in your narrower sidebar. You can change the height to be anything you want. 250px is what I like, but the font in your sidebar may be larger, and thus a longer scrollbox may be required. Experiment a little.

Thanks so much for this scrolling box! The whole list was just too long, but I didn’t like having just the button up – - This new list is PERFECT!!! Thank you!!

Thank you!! I used this for my personal blogroll, which was taking up too much sidebar space. It was easy to substitute my own blogroll code and just change the header. You rock!

This is terrific thanks. Adapted it for Wordless Wednesday blogroll and it works great! You are a genius.

This is so cool, but I can’t figure out how to get it in my blog.
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’ve read all of the suggestions here. I might have to get my DH to help me with this one!

I figured it out! Thanks!
