Here are instructions for how to set up a blogroll (links list) using the "Bloglines" service.

(It works about the same way with the "Blogrolling" service too.)

  1. First, set up your feeds, following the instructions on the Bloglines website. 
  2. Create different folders to hold different groups of links. 
  3. Sort your feeds into these different folders topically.  Those folders will become the topic names at the top of your different blogrolls. 
  4. Then choose the "share" tab. 
  5. You'll see the window below.  Your username will already be filled in.  You'll have to supply the name of the folder you want to turn into a blogroll.  In the example below I have chosen a folder I made called "News."
  6. Click the "Generate HTML" button.

  1. Go to your Blogger Dashboard.
  2. Select the blog you want.
  3. Select the "Template" tab.
  4. Scroll down inside the template window until you find "MainOrArchivePage."

  1. You'll need to paste two lines of code here (in blue below).
  2. First, paste in the Javascript code for your blogroll (second line in blue).
  3. Second, you'll need to make a sidebar title for you blogroll that fits with the style of your sidebar.  Copy this line from the pic above:  <h2 class="sidebar-title">Archives</h2>
  4. Paste that line above the Javascript line.
  5. Then change the part that says >Archives< to whatever you want the topic heading of that particular blogroll to be.  In the example below I have called my blogroll >News> (first blue line).

 

  1. Select "Preview" and see if it worked.  If not, you can always reject the changes and try again. 
  2. When it looks right, "Save" the template changes and "Publish" the blog.
