How to List a Blogroll in WordPress
The "Blogroll" gadget or widget present in website sidebars and blog pages lists links to other blogs. Create a list of blog links in WordPress and give them a Blogroll title category to distinguish these links from others. WordPress uses a fixed Dashboard menu with options to choose from, including adding links and link-based widgets. You can name the Blogroll link category something other than "Blogroll," if you prefer. You can add as many blog links as you like to your link list.
