Adding other blog info to your blog

    Hi there!

    I have noticed on other people's blogs (not WP) that they have a column where they can list other blogs they are following.

    Can we do that on WP?

    Also, I want to add a button for a writing group that I am in and they gave me the code but where do I add that on my dashboard?

    Thanks so much! :)

    Lisa

    The blog I need help with is lisavproulx.wordpress.com.

    Hi there,
    Here here for how to create a Blogroll. See here for how to display it in your sidebar using a Links Widget.
    As for the button code you can place it in a text widget.

    This link will explain to you how to create a blogroll (which is, I think, what you mean):

    To add a button to your side panel you'll need to paste the code into a text widget. Here's how to use a text widget:

    @TT - sorry, I am so slow with my typing that by the time I'm ready to post my response someone else has beaten me to it!

    Hi and thank you all for your time!

    I have tried all of your suggestions and none of it comes up on my blog!

    Don't know what I am doing wrong!

    a) You visit the other blogs and copy their complete addresses from the address bar of your browsers.
    b) You use those addresses to create Links in Links > Add New.
    c) You go to Appearance > Widgets and drag a Links widget to Sidebar.

    Okay, I go to Appearance>Widgets>

    On the right hand side it reads:
    SECONDARY SIDEBAR
    FEATURE AREA
    FIRST FOOTER AREA
    SECOND FOOTER AREA

    I have no idea what this means.

    Where do I drag the LINKS (Your Blogroll)?

    I would like my Blogs That I Follow to be on the right hand side of my blog page.

    Thanks again! :)

    You drag the Links widget to the Primary Sidebar.
    As for what those other modules mean, see here:
