Creating a link list in Blogger

Here's my pass at describing how to create a blogroll using Blogger's "link list" feature. I've also posted a video on Youtube to illustrate the process.

How to create a link list in Blogger

* Log in to your Blogger account

* View your blog

* Select Design (upper right corner)

* Select the Design tab (upper left)

* Select Page Elements (beneath the Design tab)

* Select Add a Gadget (right hand side of template)

* Select Link List

* Title the Link List (for instance, Mainstream Newspapers)

* Sort as you see fit (Alphabetically or Reverse Alphabetically)

* Copy and paste (or enter manually VERY carefully) the URL for the first link in New Site URL

* Add the proper name for New Site Name

* Select Add Link

* Repeat until all links are added. When you are done, select Save Changes.

You may want to create several different link lists for clarity (newspapers, blogs, classmate's blogs).
