Managing Blogroll Hyperlinks with Quick Blogcast
You can add a blogroll widget to your Quick Blogcast® sidebar. A blogroll is a list of hyperlinks to other blogs or websites. After you add a blogroll, you can add new hyperlinks to it, edit or delete existing hyperlinks, or change the status of existing hyperlinks.
For information about blogrolls, see Managing Blogrolls in Quick Blogcast.
