How to Add a Blogroll in WordPress

1. Create a list of blogs you want to link to. A good blogroll has links to blogs that are similar in subject material and create further reading opportunities for your readers. Bloggers will appreciate you putting them on your blogroll, so it's also important to consider what blogs you want to link back to you. Bloggers are much more likely to link to someone who already links to them.
2. Log into WordPress or your self-hosted blog and choose the 'Add New' option under the 'Links' widget on the left hand side. Enter the name, Web address, and description of the blog you want to link to. You can choose if you want the new link to appear in the same window that your blog is in, or a separate one.

3. Choose the 'Blogroll' button in the 'Categories' option if it is not already checked. Create a new category if you also want to add links to websites that are not blogs. Wordpress 3.1 allows bloggers to identify how they know the person they are linking to. Choose your relationship with the blogger you are linking to carefully because this information is embedded into your blogs HTML code and read by search engines.
4. Choose whether or not you want your blogroll to have its own page or appear on a side panel on your main blog page. A blogroll with its own page will not be seen as often or carry as much relevance with other bloggers. A blogroll on your main blog page is more relevant, but it can also clutter the look of your site and create a less pleasant experience for your readers.
