Following on from the blog post in March on how to rename the blogroll link category , we thought a screencast might be useful. I certainly can think of better names…

So the screencast on how to change the name of the blogroll links category in WordPress:

Until you’re really familiar with the workings of WordPress, one frustrating issue may be the default title of your links, if you choose to show those in your sidebar, you might want to call them something different, or indeed have several categories.

To change your “blogroll”, from your Dashboard go to Links, Link Categories. Here you can Edit the Blogroll as well as add new link categories.

Many of you will have a list of other websites and/or blogs that you link to – these may be your buddies or simply other sites and services that you recommend.

It’s worth checking your links every now and again.  Twice today I’ve followed links from respected blogs only to find that the person/website they’ve suggested either no longer exists or that the services offered at the linked-to website now seem to compete with the original person’s website, which seemed a bit odd in that particular context. Needless to say I had a gentle word…

So – who do you link to?  Who are you recommending to your readers?  It’s worth checking now and again – perhaps include it in a regular (monthly!) housekeeping schedule.
