Creating a blogroll has been the one thing I have wanted to do for a long, long time since I started Grubbs ‘n Critters – mainly for my own convenience to minimise the bookmarking of the various different sites I like and saving me the trouble to keep track of them each time my computer crashed…(I know, I know,I should back up my bookmarks)

… but for some reason I have been procrastinating for over a year, and just haven’t gotten round to it till YESTERDAY!

Really, really late yesterday , or should I say in the wee hours this morning after #Blogging 101 released the assignment to share a few links I love.  I figured that now is  a good time to get my shit together to at least do this one simple thing of creating a Blogroll.

I have always wanted to dedicate a full page on my site for blogrolls but wavered when I saw all those nifty widgets you can work with to create one. I spent a couple of hours trying to figure it out and after a few hours fiddling around with it (unsuccessfully), I decided I’m just going to cut my losses and create a page anyway! Like a classmate from The Comments remarked: “if you are feeling generous, you can dedicate an entire page for other blogger and keep adding the list of blogs in the future”

And I did just that. So Ta-DAHHHHH! I now have a Blogroll Page! With categories too – and I realised that a theme emerged from there:

• Food & Recipes (surprise, surprise!)
• Daddy & Mommy Blogs  – bloggers with a sense of  (some wicked) humour, or simple inspiring
• Inspiring Cool Stuff – from travels, to photography to quote -stuff

I’m still gonna be looking for that nifty little blogroll widget where it sorts of updates itself based on your (in this case my) site visits to other blogs. I’ll just have to figure out how. And when.

Until then,  I’m just going to be refreshing or adding on new links to my add-on page. So make sure you check back every once in a while
