How to create a "links list" in Blogger

Here's my pass at describing how to create a link list in Blogger. I've also included a link to a colleague's video posted on YouTube that illustrates the process.

How to create a link list in Blogger

  • Log in to your Blogger account
  • View your blog
  • Select Design (upper right corner)
  • Select the Design tab (upper left)
  • Select Page Elements (beneath the Design tab)
  • Select Add a Gadget (right hand side of template)
  • Select Link List
  • Title the Link List (for instance, Mainstream Newspapers)
  • Sort as you see fit (Alphabetically or Reverse Alphabetically)
  • Copy and paste (or enter manually VERY carefully) the URL for the first link in New Site URL
  • Add the proper name for New Site Name
  • Select Add Link
  • Repeat until all links are added. When you are done, select Save Changes.
You may want to create several different link lists for clarity (newspapers, blogs, classmate's blogs).
