Plain and simple...if you are here more than likely you know what a link list is...right?
Blog Roll = Link List
My definition of a link list: A list of other peoples blogs or websites displayed somewhere on your own blog or website. Used in a sentence: The link list on my blog has a ton of great sites but it's hard to manage.

What is a blog roll?

Here is a great way to manage your links!
Did you find a site you want to add to your blog?
Don't want to leave the page to do it? Well...DON'T!!!! Just click the BlogRollIt button!!!!!
Read the post below for "average joe blogger" instructions on getting it setup...or...
Don't want to mess with it but you still want to use blogrolling.com for your links?
For $5 I will make an OPML document link list using the link list you currently have on your blog. Then I will email the document and you can simply import it into your new blogroll. You setup your blogrolling account, the new blogroll/link list, import the links yourself and insert the code on your blog.
-OR-
For 10$ I'll setup your blogrolling.com account (you will still have to activate it), create your new blogroll/link list and populate it for you. All you will have to do is add the code to your blog and delete your old link list. If you are on blogger I can even add it to your blog for you if you grant me admin rights. These rights should be removed immediately after I'm finished.
If you're interested send me email at sarajwil@hotmail.com.

Getting your Link List on Blogrolling.com
1) Go to http://www.blogrolling.com/ and setup a FREE account…it’s quick and dirty! You will get an activation email.
2) Once activated (which takes a couple of seconds), create your new blogroll from the "Mission Control" screen:
**Be sure to check out the preferences for this cool feature and more!
3) Now you DEFINITELY need 1-Click Blogrolling!
- Click Me to go to 1-Click section on blogrolling.com.
- You will probably have to Login...have it always remember you when you do this!
- If you have Internet Explorer...if you're not sure you probably do. Follow the instructions for IE users on blogrolling.com or follow these instructions:
-Right click on the BlogRollIt link, click Add to Favorites, Select the Links folder and click OK
If you don't have the BlogRollIt button available when you're done then you have the links toolbar set to hidden. Right click anywhere on the button toolbar area and select Links to display it.
4) Populate your new blog roll using your new "BlogRollIt” button.
- Go to your current blog, click on the first link on your link list to go to the page.
- Click on your new BlogRollIt button.
- A window will appear, you may modify/add title and description as you wish. The title is the link name that is displayed on your blog. The description is the text in that little bitty pop-up that appears when you mouse over the link.
- When you're all done click Add Link.
- Go back to your blog and continue doing the same thing for each link. It seems like a big task but you’ll be done before you know it!
5) Now get those links on your blog…for BLOGGER ONLY (these directions may at least resemble most blog tools):
- From Mission Control click Get Code on your new blogroll.
- Click on the link called "Click to select the code" under the Javascript section, it's the first section.
- Right click the selected code to bring up a menu, click Copy.
- Go to your blog layout and click Add Page Element.
- Select HTML/Javascript. Add appropriate title if desired.
- Right click the in Content field and click on Paste to insert the code you copied from blogrolling into Content.
- Click Save Changes.
- Move it to the desired location and click save again and don't forget to delete the old link list page element!!
Your done!!! Now you can easily add, sort, rate and jazz up your links!!!!
