How do I post a link to friends blogs or to other blog posts?

Basically I would like to know the steps to provide a link to other people's 360 blogs or to individual blog posts, or even web sites, etc. I would like to be able to direct readers of my 360 to other people's blogs/posts to share areas of interest.

How do I post a link to friends blogs or to other blog posts?
1. You can add the links to your blogroll:


http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog/blogroll....


The blog roll appears below your blog's calendar.





2. You can write a blog and insert the links in that blog entry:


If you want to make a link from text you've already typed, just highlight the text, then click the "Add a Link" icon (this is located between the yellow emoticon and the "I" for Italics) on the toolbar. In the pop-up box, enter the URL and click "OK."

To use HTML to add a link:


1. Check the 'View HTML source' box (on the right of your blog entry page/near the emoticons/fonts/font colors, etc)


2.Paste this HTML tag/code into the blog:


%26lt;a href="URLofwebsitehere" target="_blank"%26gt;Nameofwebsitehere... %26lt;/a%26gt;








3. You can use the feed option:


Your friends can have a RSS/Feeds' link at the bottom of their blog page. Then, you can copy and paste the URL of their feed in the RSS/Feeds' section of your main page. But, your friends would have to set their blogs to public and check the box to enable their blogs to be used as feeds. They can do this here (the Blog Settings page):

To add feeds of other blogs or websites:


If you're on a site, you can check to see if the site has feeds. The link to view a website's "RSS"/feed is usually on the side panel or at the very bottom of most websites.





Here some examples of sites with feeds:


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/help/3223484....


http://news.yahoo.com/rss





For example:


On the BBC site, it says "Choose a feed." You click the echoing, orange icon or the and you'll be take to that particular feed's page. Then, you can copy the URL of the feed from your address bar and paste it into one of the boxes on your 360 page.





Then, paste the feeds' URL here:


http://360.yahoo.com/edit/feeds.html;_yl...
Reply:When you enter somebody's blog or any other web page, you see the url to that site in your browser window. Mark it with your cursor, copy it and insert the link into your own 360° blog...
