Okay, I’ve been lousy at posting for a while. But I do still check in on old friends.
To wit, JellyJules over at Thinking About … recently posted:
WordPress has put in too many updates, and now I can’t figure out how to update my blogroll. There are a few blogs over there that aren’t active anymore, and I’d like to remove them. An old blog friend popped by awhile ago, and is maybe starting up her blog again, and I wanted to add her back to my blogroll. No can do. I looked online, and I can add new widgets, but I can’t figure out how to edit the one I have.
So we messaged and I went nosing around Site Admin for a bit. She’s right. In no place does it say “blogroll” any more. You have to go to “Links” or “All Links” and once you’re in that page you can update your blogroll. It’s reasonably intuitive.
I like what she had to say about old blogging friends, and admire her for hanging in there. I still have ideas for reviving this old thing, too. For one thing, that “About” dates back to the Dubya years! I haven’t given up the ghost yet–and hats of to you, JellyJules, for still posting.

Thanks for the information. I’ve been on so little I didn’t know about it. I love hearing from you and the old gang of bloggers. Must become more active. Being co-coordinator of a short story group and entering contests and submitting has kept me busy in the writing area. I promise to do better.
Thank you so much for figuring this out for me. It wasn’t THAT difficult, as you said, but I guess I just wasn’t looking in the right places, and as I’ve been ignoring my blog more and more lately, I didn’t try VERY hard. But now that you reminded me of how to do it, I was able to update my blogroll. Thanks again, and yay to blogging! Bring on your ideas.
Anhinga–good to hear from you. Mrs. O and I visited Florida this March and among the birds we saw at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary (which was fantastic) was your namesake.
J–you’re an inspiration to those of us who’ve let our everyday lives draw us out of the blogosphere. Am glad you brought it up. Usually, the more I poke around in the admin section, the more confused I become.
