HowTo create a User-Generated wordpress Blogroll with MyBlogLog

View Comments 21 December 2006

If you’re an AddiCT and noticed a new link pop up when ego-surfing or have received your “Firstname Surname” Google Alert pointing you to Your Web AddiCT(s); new page. We’ve moved our WordPress blogroll to its very own page here and replaced the sidebar blogroll with a user-generated blogroll provided by MyBlogLog. You are the most important person on the Web today, tomorrow, forever. Why not create a blogroll of users who actually frequent your blog?

How much do you know about all the other people who read their blogs? And how much do they know about you?

For all this talk of a global conversation throughout the blogosphere, there’s a lot to be desired. It’s a two-tiered system, with bloggers talking amongst each other and the majority of the readers looking on from the fringes. You may get to call out something from the sidelines by leaving a comment, but things could be so much better. For everyone.

MyBlogLog is launching this new Communities service to empower authors and readers to operate at the same level. For the first time, everyone who reads a web site or blog can learn about and engage with one another, and in the process take the conversation to a whole new level.

Readers can become friends with other people who read your favorite blogs. See what else they’re reading. Check out their MySpace and Friendster profiles and view their Flickr photostreams. Authors can learn more about their readers individually and as a group. What do they like and what are they ignoring? What are they reading elsewhere on the Web?

MyBlogLog enables you to take advantage of your existing presence on the Web and ties it into communities of like-minded readers and authors to add context to the conversations in which you take part.

Signing up takes 1 mintue and there are super-easy widgets available to integrate into your blog or website to show users who is reading, what they’re reading, where they’re clicking and when they did the who/what/where on your blog.

If you are a wordpress user with a bit of HTML knowledge your able to add the MyBlogLog script into your sidebar showing the who what where. If you’re lazy and use WordPress Widgets you are able to add a MyBloglog widget by following these simple instructions to add MyBlogLog to wordpress.

PS: I’m loving the real-time stats if you have a Pro account, available only for 3 days if you do not.
