How to create a blogroll?

Firstly, what is a blogroll?


It's one of those boxes you can have in your sidebar and that includes links to other websites, usually blogs although of course it's all up to you what you link to. It's an easy and friendly way to interconnect your blog with those of your friends & family.

1. Login to your blog editor and choose the Sidebar tab in the top menu. This should bring you to the page shown in the screenshot left. On this page, make sure you choose the right blog in the drop-down list, in the case you have several blogs. Then point to the submenu item "blogrolls".

2. The page that comes up displays the list of blogrolls you already have. In the list you can manage each blogroll and delete/rename or manage each blogroll. The manage link takes you to the page where you can blog links (see further down). At the bottom of this page, you can also create a new blogroll by entering a blogroll name and clicking on "New Blogroll".

3. Whether you click on Manage in the blogroll list for a given blog, or whether you click on Create blogroll in the bottom part of the page, your browser will take you to the page shown in the screenshot left. On that page, you can add links to just about any website, weblog, image... You name it!


4. Lastly, you can move a link from one blogroll to another. Nothing's simpler. Just click on move that'll bring to the page shown in this last screenshot. You can select the target blogroll in the drop-down list.


Now wasn't that easy? Somethin still not clear? Care to share your experience? Feel free to comment!
