I have been playing around with Ray Camden’s BlogCFC for the past few weeks. I am planning on moving over from BlogCFM. One think that I really wanted with my new blog was the ability to easily update links in my blog roll. BlogCFC did not have this out the box, but I came up with a very easy whay of doing this. Using BlogCFC’s Textblocks feature I created a textblok called “blog roll”. Next I created a pod called blogroll.cfm and called my blog roll text block using

SELECT BODY
FROM dbo.tblblogtextblocks
WHERE LABEL = ‘Blog Roll’

#QBlogroll.body#

Now all I have to do is update the links in my blog roll textblock, refresh blog cache and my blog roll is updated.

You might have also done this:

<cfoutput>
#application.textblock.getTextBlock("blog roll").body#
</cfoutput>
