Hints from the Hive: Bogged down in Bloglines?

Hi all,

Do you want to put your Blogline blogroll in your very own blog? Here is how you do it.

Go to Bloglines and click on Account





Then click on Blog settings






When you get to Blog Settings, enter a User Name. WRITE IT DOWN
Click the radio button "Yes, publish my Blogroll.

Click on the Feeds tab on the top of the page. This should take you back to your normal view.
Look at the right hand box with all the writing.

The top looks like this:








Scroll down until you see Publish and Share your blog. Click on "Share your Blogroll".
This screen will pop up. Your user name (the one you just made) should appear in the box.

Click on the Generate HTML button. You will get this screen.

See the computer code gobbledegoop that I circled in yellow? That is HTML code. Highlight it and copy it to your clipboard.

NOW go to your blog and from the dashboard, click on Layout. (If you don't see this screen when you log in, you probably linked to your blog from HCPL's blog. Click on Customize in the upper right corner and it will bring you to this page. Or you can log in from Blogger.com log in page.)


Click on LayoutThen Add Page Element. You can add it to the right or below your Blog posts. You will then see this screen.
Select HTML/JavaScript and click on Add to Blog






Give your blogroll a title, then go to the content box and paste in the HTML code from your Bloglines account.

Click Save Changes.

Now view your blog. Your blogroll should be there!






GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!
