Links to other blogs

Today I noticed that some of you encountered problems in linking to other blogs. This is partly due to the way Blogger presents their gadgets.
Linking to another blog easily becomes linking to the feedreader of an other blog.

If you want to make sure that you're linking to the blog of someone else, please check the following:
- log in to your own blog and click on the option Customize
- Choose the option Layout to change your pagesettings and links
- Click on Add a Gadget and choose the option: Link List
Be aware that one of the first options offered looks similar but only links to the feed of a weblog not the entire weblog.

- On the pop-up that follows, fill in the following options:
* Title: what name would you like to give to the functionality offered
* New site url: this is the url of the blog you are referring to
* New site name: how would you wish to present the name of the blog on your own blog
* Finish by clicking on save
