Thanks to Tobias pointing out that a weblog in your blo.gs favorites with non-ascii characters was breaking the script (since HTML character entities don’t mean jack to an XML parser), now blo.gs outputs your favorites.xml file encoded as ISO-8859-1 rather than using character entities, and if you plan on adding any blogs with non-ascii characters in the name, you’ll want to download a new copy of phpblogroll.zip. If you don’t have any truck with them furriners with their funny alphabets, you shouldn’t notice any difference. Except that Ruzz apparently did.

And speaking of Tobias, his calendar of archive months is one heck of a first PHP script. Despite having spent a fair bit of time arranging monthly archive links, that’s a style that I never thought of. Very slick, especially right below a daily calendar.
