I wonder if anyone else has had this problem?

I have a blog site under the blogger format and want to exchange links with other sites. the problem lies in the fact that the blogger system does not allow link code into the html template format it is smothered in widgets int he code. this basically restricts me to one way links on the site.

I have seen other blogger based sites with customized link banner on the side bar and wonder how they get to do this.

Any answers there? Thanks (ps go easy on me I'm a relative novice)

Im not sure what you mean one-way links on the site

if you want to add some html just go into layout, click add page element
then choose HTML/Javascript and enter your HTML

does this answer your question?

Hi Bulgarian Slivatree,
I have two blogger blogs. I ran into the same thing - wanting to display links in the side Navigation. If you want the code (I swiped it) for putting a section up i.e. "Sites of Interest" - Blogs I Read (anchor text is your choice). Just send me a PM and your blog - so I can have a look before I send it.

Also, don't undertand about being restricted to one way links. You can submit to directories - most have blog sections now and there are blog only directories. Your inbounds will come like any website - GOOD CONTENT and other bloggers wll link to your post (one way also). The code I have is for making a list of recip links or giveaways?

freelancedesigners.com,
You sound knowledgeable about Blogger - I spent 2 hrs today trying to figure out why my home page is always PR4 but the archives get no link love passed along which means targeted relevant links that were sent to reviewed products won't get any PR boost. Must have read 20 blogs responding to this query and found NOTHING! Can Blogger be configured to pass it's PR along throughout the years of archived posts?

Thanks!
CZ

Just to clarify on only being able to complete one way links:

Some directories need to conform that you have their link on my site before adding mine. The facility to do this by checking a links page cannot be done as the blogger home page is not consider a link page even though the link is placed there.

Will try the HTML/Javascrpti suggestion but I remember doing this before without success. Will feedback when done.

Thanks for suggestions to date

Thank you CZ, one problem solved.

There still remains the problem of directories recognizing the home page of a links page to confirm the reciprocal link.
