How to Create a Real Blog List in Blogger

To all Blogger users, there's a much better way to display your Blogroll if you're still using the Link List gadget.

Do you know that Blogger has a gadget called My Blog List? Using this gadget to list other Blogger sites is much better since it can automatically show the latest post title of your links.

This is a Blogger gadget and not a 3rd party script so it's quite easy to implement. To use this:

1. Go to draft.blogger.com and log in from there
2. Go to your Layout page and Add a Gadget
3. You would see the My Blog List gadget and simply add it
4. Just add the URL's of your blog list and it will automatically grab the title of that page. (You also have the option to rename it if you want)
5. Set your preferences then Save

My Blog List in action

This would make your Blog List consume a lot of space if you have plenty of links but you can just segregate your Blogger links from others. There are also other nifty gadgets listed there that you might find useful.

I just wish that the gadget can also retrieve content from Wordpress-based blogs.
