Blogroll Block

Use the Blogroll block to share a list of blogs you follow with your website visitors.

Edit the Blogroll Item List

When you first add the Blogroll block to your site, it will look something like this:

You can select each item in your blogroll and make changes:

  • Edit an item’s avatar by clicking on the image.
  • Edit an item’s title and description by clicking on the text and typing new text.
  • Delete an item from the blogroll in the same way as you would delete any other block.

You can edit the default heading used — “Blogroll” — to say whatever you’d like.

You can also click the + Block Inserter icon at the bottom right of the block to add a new blogroll item from the list of sites you follow.

At the moment, this block will only display WordPress.com sites to which you’re subscribed. We plan to add support for custom URLs as this feature develops.

Block Toolbar

When you click on the block, a toolbar of options will appear above or below it:
