Adding, Editing, and Removing Blogrolls

A blogroll is a widget you can add to your Quick Blogcast sidebar. Blogrolls display a list of hyperlinks to other blogs or Web sites. With Quick Blogcast, you can include multiple blogrolls as sidebar items on your blog, and you can customize the blogrolls so they have different names.

The blogroll hyperlinks are listed within each blogroll on the Sidebar Widgets window. You can add hyperlinks, determine the order in which hyperlinks display, and edit or remove them. For more information about a blogroll's hyperlinks, see Adding, Editing, and Deleting Hyperlinks in a Blogroll.
