Out with the old...

in


Well, finally gave Blogrolling the boot. I liked it when I first got it. Loved seeing those asteriks after my favorite blogs, knowing they've updated and I could go over and peruse them. But then it froze my blog and I had to get rid of it temporally. When I put it make up it was under repair for months and months(no asteriks) and when it came back, it was not the same ( is it ever?). It had those awful,annoying pop-up advertisements on top of the blog you were trying to view. So last week. I added all those blogs to my favorites in the blogger template and no, there are no more asteriks but it does tell me when last you updated and the title of your post. So bye, bye blogrolling.

And .... "In with the new". I would very much like to know, if anyone out there could explain to me - just how do you add more blog posts at the end of the main blog page so that you can easily scroll down to older (previous) posts??

I remember that day!

To put more post on the main page go to settings in the dashboard and choose how many posts to display on the main page.

I never tried the blog-rolling option on my two blogs; I always felt like it took away from the enjoyment I have of checking a lot of blogs - even the ones who haven't updated. You never know what little gems you may find that you missed on previous visits!

I hate Bloggrolling with all the passion I have left after sex, wining and dining.

to view previous post, click on "Older Posts" at the end of the last post

or if you prefer, you can move your "Blog Archive" widget at the bottom of the last post - people can browse your blog that way

I prefer to browse by "Labels" which you can add to your sidebar or move it underneath the last post

I hope this helps...
