    As a few of you know I have started a photoblog on

    http://www.photoblog.com/thebaz/

    I know a few here have blogs , and i remember a thread a year ago about the importance about linking blogs , using blogsrolls. Well i don't have a blogroll , not sure how to start one , and wondering about get links to other bloggers ?

    any ideas or help ?

    Im always so far behind technically :mad:

    I just signed up quickly to Photoblog to look through their options and TBH it looks like a poor man's Wordpress. Their options for customisation are nil.
    Maybe I've missed something in the two mins to look through their site but I'm not really liking it?

    Would you not consider Wordpress to be used as a photography blog? They have far better customisation and far far better themes. The themes on Photoblog are fairly amateur and look poor.

    Thanks Deliverance , I just switched from Blogger , and like the community on photoblog - so don't really want to switch.
    Is a blogroll just a wordpress thing ?

    It is primarily a Wordpress feature but there should be similar options in other competitor's sites. After looking through Photoblog I'm not seeing any options like that.

    You need a Blogroll Widget.

    This might help:

    That plugin is for Wordpress only. As far as I could tell, Photoblog as of yesterday don't allow plugins or widgets. The only customisation option I saw were for themes.

    If you don't find coding scary, there may be a way forward here:

    I continue to use Blogger because their widgets are so easy to use. The link I have for you here

    thebaz, is out of date, but I'll update it next week.

    Hope you find a solution...

    Baz I thought it might have been a typo and you meant bogroll:o:o:o

    In your honour I may just go and take a pic of some (clean) bog roll, it just gave me an andrex moment.......

    dirty may be more interesting :eek:

    Anouilh - you probably know I have switched from blogger to

    http://www.photoblog.com/thebaz/

    I like the community on photoblog - I will be going off air for much of Jan so don't want to switch again .

    It might be an idea if boardies who have photoblogs, linked up somehow !!
