Updated: The Family-Friendly network has Moved to http://b-nn.com/index.php/ffnetwork-info/

Some bloggers have been having trouble adding the Family-Friendly Blogroll code to their sidebars. The majority of these bloggers are either blogspot bloggers or wordpress.com bloggers; I’d like to address these two groups.

First, if you blog at wordpress.com, the free blogging service from wordpress, it is not as easy to add the code to your blog as you might wish. They do not allow javascript which is used in the code given to you. There is a way to join the blogroll but you will be required to follow a step-by-step plan and you will have to do this again each month in order to update the blogroll manually. If you want to attempt the process, please request and implement these wordpress instructions in order to be added to the blogroll.

Secondly, for blogspot bloggers who are now using the new blogger, you can not use widgets (maybe known to you as Add an Element) to add the code to your blog if you want to add it in a scrollbar. With the new blogger, once you add a new element and save the code, the code is changed in a way that makes it useless. You will end up with a blank white box instead of the blogroll. You need to be able to go into the actual HTML code of your template and add the blogroll code there in order for it to appear properly in your sidebar.

If you do not know how to do this then please use the code from the following page: New Display Code for Blogroll

I am a wife, mom, a homeschooler, my family’s only housekeeper, and cook. Sometimes I am even a chauffeur. I am a sister, neighbor, and friend. I have many demands on my time.

I also work from home as a web designer. I host web sites and sell domain names. I also blog - I know that one should be kind of obvious - and I run two blogroll networks. Each network is made up of a blogroll, a custom search engine, a mailing list and a RSS network.

I am a busy woman. I really, really don’t have much time to spare. My days can get crazy.

So, I am requesting that everyone who would like to join one of the blogroll networks please read the corresponding Join the __________ Network post thoroughly and then give me at least a week to respond once you email me your information. I do not add people daily. I simply don’t have time for that.

I also do not have the time to get all ready to add blogs to the networks only to find that the people requesting to be added have not read through the whole post, have not added the blogroll to their sidebar or not followed the instructions in some other way. It means I then have to email you and request you do what I asked you to at the top of the post. Read.

Please be considerate of my time. I want to add you, really I do. But even more, I want you to read the instructions.
