Okay, so I am blogging on Word Press. Please - in simple language for blogging for a dummie - please let me know what is the easiest plugin/widget to use to list other blogsites. I am so enjoying so many Dreamers blog sites and want to put them on my site (with permission of course) but I can not figure out a sidebar way to do it - and all the rest of you do!
Thank you Dreamer Techy RVers for your assistance.

If you're using it via Wordpress.com then just go to the widgets area and you can add a site listing widget and configure as desired. Can probably do the same with a self hosted WP installation although I haven't tried that. You may have to choose a WP theme that allows sidebars and widgets, some of the more simplistic themes don't allow it.

BTW.. your list of blogsites will be called 'Blogroll' by some plugins, it's what WP used before they renamed it to simply 'Links'. There's probably a built in Widget ready to be drug into your sidebar configuration (under Appearance | Widgets on the dashboard, at least under our self hosted version) - just waiting for you :)

Thanks. I am simply not a techy. The WP has the "WP blogroll" and "simple links" - I guess I can not figure out how to use them. Both widgets do not let me put in http for my fellow RV bloggers. Is there a specific widget name I should look for?

The Widgets will only display the links you already have setup. To add the links, find the 'Links' section on your dashboard.

Thanks Technoadia,
I will play around with it more - I am not doing something right - when that happens I step away for a bit then I figure it out right :)

I stumble through it and get lucky once and a while but go to you Admin page and look for BLOGS I FOLLOW,, then when you click that it re directs you to a page called reader. From there you can paste links to the blogs you follow. I can only get min to show 10 blogs even though I follow more so if you happen to figure out how to show more than 10 let me know LOL!!.. Good luck.

You are sooo right & you were my lucky post! I figured out how to use a widget called "Simple Link List" and it worked after several tries. I could NOT get "WP Social Blogroll" or "blogs I read" to work. I got it now.
