Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Blogroll & Podroll Block
In the editor, add a block and search for "Blogroll". Put it on any page or post. You
If you have more than one on a page, give each one a name. The names then group the entries in the list people subscribe to, so a reader can tell them apart. Every list also gets an anchor of its own, made from its name. A blogroll named "Podcasts" can be linked as https://example.com/links/#podcasts, and https://example.com/links/?opml&group=podcasts is the subscription list of that one alone. The download link under the list uses it too. If you want a different anchor, change the HTML anchor under Advanced in the block settings; if it is taken on that page, the plugin adds a number, like it does with the slug of a post. Lists made before this version get their anchor the first time the page is viewed.
Paste the address of the site and the plugin fills in the rest: name, description, icon, and the feed, if it finds one. Every link is a block of its own inside the list, so it
description in place, the address behind the name, the feed and the relationship in the line below, the icon by clicking it.
Yes. Every feed reader can export your subscriptions as an OPML file. Upload that file in the block, paste its content, or give the plugin the address of an OPML file that is already online. Looking up extra details for each imported link is optional, so importing a list of two hundred feeds does not fetch two hundred sites unless you ask for it.
Add ?opml to the address of the page your blogroll is on, for example https://example.com/links/?opml. That is the address to hand to a feed reader. You do not have to tell anyone about it. Pages with a blogroll announce it in their HTML, and so does your homepage, so a reader that looks for it will find it. Sites that collect blogrolls look at https://example.com/.well-known/recommendations.opml, which lists all blogrolls on your site. Apps that show who you follow look at https://example.com/.well-known/following.opml, one list of all the feeds in them, as described in FollowSpec, part of SocialSpec. There is also a download link under the list, for people who prefer a file.
Yes. A podroll is a blogroll of podcasts, and both are the same kind of list. Podcast apps read the same OPML files.
There are none. Everything belongs to the block: which links, in which order, how many per page, whether icons and sorting are shown.
Only where you point it. When you paste a link, your site fetches that address to read the site's name, feed and icon, and when you import a list from an address, your site fetches that file. Nothing else leaves your server, and there is no tracking, no analytics and no account anywhere.
Not for your visitors. The list, the sorting and the paging are plain HTML rendered on your server. The editor uses JavaScript, like the rest of the block editor does.
