Add a Blogroll to Blogger

Blogger in Draft (a pre-release version of Blogger) added an interesting widget that lets you display the latest posts from your favorite blogs. It's an enhanced blogroll that displays the recently updated blogs and snippets from the most recent posts.

You can manually add the blogs by entering their URLs or you can select from your Google Reader subscriptions. To add the widget to a Blogger blog, you need to go to Blogger in Draft, click on the Layout section corresponding to the blog and add the "Blog List" page element. You can't add the widget for blogs that still use the classic templates, like this blog.

Google Reader already lets you create a blogroll from any public tag, but Blogger's widget is more customizable.



In other Blogger-related news, the comment page make it more obvious that you can sign in using an OpenID and Blogger enabled pagination for posts with more than 200 comments.

  1. I like the new blog-roll system, but the rename feature doesn't work yet and I think it could be made more attractive. Thanks for the heads-up, its a great page element.

  7. Blogger does not let you customize the blog template with either scrolling or cascading rolls if you do not want all of the blogs to appear on your page at once.

  14. Hi everyone, I have this question that I've been googling for the past couple days but can't seem to find an answer.

    I exchanged links with a friend and his link shows up in my blog roll fine. (With title and a picture of the latest posting) However, on his blog roll, my latest image doesn't show up...just the names of the latest images. I'm wondering if this has to to with Feedburner? Am I missing something?

    BTW, about half of my friend's link do show images and the other half do not.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    1. After 11 years in marriage with my hubby with 2 kids, my husband started going out with other lady and showed me cold love, on several occasions he threatens to divorce me if I dare question him about his affair, I was totally devastated and confused until an old friend of mine told me about a spell caster on the Internet called DR. OKAYA who help people with their relationship and marriage problem by the powers of love spells, at first I doubted if such thing ever exists but decided to give it a try, when I contacted him, he helped me cast a love spell and within hours my husband came back to me and started apologizing, now he has stopped going out with ladies and he is with me for good and for real. Contact this great spell caster for your relationship or marriage problem and all kinds of problem you find difficult to solve and he will put a solution to it.
